Greetings experts, With your permission, I would like to present yet another simulation issue for debate. Can someone shed some light on the usage of the HSPICE's W -element, along with the supplied 2.5D field solver? Are there any major concerns or pros and cons? Will we be better off using a 3rd party's field solver, extract the RLC parameters and build a lossy TL model? I appreciate your though, experience and time Regards Gil ------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from si-list: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field or to administer your membership from a web page, go to: //www.freelists.org/webpage/si-list For help: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'help' in the Subject field List archives are viewable at: //www.freelists.org/archives/si-list or at our remote archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/si-list/messages Old (prior to June 6, 2001) list archives are viewable at: http://www.qsl.net/wb6tpu
