Hi, Cole, I experienced many tools such as powersi, siwave, ads, cadence, hyperlynx, and etc. I think the most important things are listed below, 1. Conversion from PCB artwork to Simulation 2. Correlation with measurement and simulation, that is dependent on your product or your structure. 3. Delivery and run time All tools are wonderful, but best choice rely on your environments. And all tools are not perfect. Good luck, Inmyoung Song. 2010/9/11 Cole Neim <terrraxx@xxxxxxxxx> > Hi, > I am about to start evaluating software to help me with my PI > simulations at first, then doing SI.
