Tim, I think your best bet is to export DXF file for each layer in Orcad layout, and then rebuild the "lost" z-direction in the 3D modeler of Ansoft tools. There is an appnote called "How to import DXF and GDS files" available on Ansoft's online tech support site www.ansoft.com/ots Best regards, Mike ----------------------------------------------------------------- Michael Khusid Ansoft Corporation SI/HF Application Engineer 25 Burlington Mall Road, 6th floor Burlington, MA 01803-4100 Tel 781-229-8900 Ext. 34 Fax 781-229-8624 --------------------- http://www.ansoft.com --------------------- -----Original Message----- From: si-list-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:si-list-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of ttsp@xxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, February 11, 2003 12:16 PM To: si-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [SI-LIST] Converting Orcad to Ansoft All, I wonder does any one in the si-list have any experience in converting Orcad layout files into Ansoft HFSS or SI3D? I wonder is there a way to do so? Does any one know there exists a software will do this conversion?
