=20 William, I think Hyperlynx is easier to setup and runs through the flow for batch = mode cross talk analysis of the whole board and other post layout SI = simulations. We use Allegro on the layout side so we usually convert Cadence board = (.brd file) into formats that hyperlynx can easily import and get us going on = the simulations quickly. One thing you might want to consider is the licensing, mentor has many flavors of hyperlynx with various features. You might want to look at it carefully. For example it doesn't allow multiple board simulations using = the basic Hyperlynx version. -Nitin Sood -----Original Message----- From: si-list-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:si-list-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Coombs, William B. (US SSA) Sent: Friday, September 15, 2006 9:02 AM To: si-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [SI-LIST] Post Layout Simulation Hello all, We are in the process of evaluating Hyperlinx and SpecctraQuest for post-layout simulation of our (mostly digital) PCB designs. I was hoping to get feedback on the experience others have had in doing post-layout simulation of Cadence designs with various simulation tools. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks. William B.
