If you are to model PDN (PowerDeliveryNetwork) in a way where ideally everything is extracted in one shot (i.e., everything coupled to everything inside the pkg) then there are few options that handle this high goal with various degrees of success (you have to do your homework): Sigrity: PowerSI (Full-Wave, kind of, FD), Speed2000 (FDTD) Fluent: IceMAX (Quasi-static FD) Optimal: PakSi-E (Quasi-static FD), PakSi-wave (Full-wave FD) Ansoft: SiWave This list pretty much exhausts everything available out there . $100k will not buy you all the tools, but maybe 1 or 2 from either vendor. However, if you are to extract significant (in your own opinion) features as subckts, and then are to stitch them together into one mother model, you can use any mix of 2D and 3D solvers of large variety. -Vadim Dagmara Avanindra <dagmara.avanindra@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:Under $100K., preferably not more than $70K.
