Hello Istvan, In ADS schematic Window there is one menue "DesignGuide". Looking in here there should be one item IBIS-AMI. Here you can find some examples (including some models). On the Agilent Website there are also some papers and Webcasts regarding IBIS-AMI. Sorry, but I have not worked with Xilinx IBIS-AMI models so far, so I can not help you with some more detailed information on this one :-( What I find really interesting: Do we now even have a difference between simulation models on 64bit and 32bit systems ???
