I've used Apsim for that task before but I wouldn't mind saving some money by getting something just as good for much less and no maintenance fees. I was wondering if there were any newer versions or ones that take into consideration something other than a rectangular cross-section and one could add solder mask. > > > Dear Michael: To my knowledge, it is possible to analyze multi-layered planar structures with Linpar and allows use of solder mask. However, it is not clear to me if utilization of trace cross sections other than rectangular (such as trapezoidal or a general polygon shape) is feasible with Linpar. I am also interested to hear from expert users of this software.
