Incorporating the on-package decouling capacitors in PDN impedance analysis
Hi,
I am using an IC that has on-package decoupling capacitors. I want to incorporate them PDN ac-impedance analysis. I have contacted the IC vendor, and the vendor has agreed to provide me with an S-parameter file and/or a Z-parameter file (that will model the effects of on-die capacitance, die-to-pkg wire bonding, on-package decaps, pkg inductance, etc.)
I don't have "PDN model export" license add-on. Hence, I want to use the output of distributed decoupling analysis which is a Z-parameter file (that would model the PCB along with on-baoard PCB decoupling capacitors) and keep it in series with the VRM model and my IC model (S-parameter file or Z-parameter file) in Linesim and see the overall PDN impedance profile.
Can someone guide me in the right direction in how to do this? I am sure many would have faced this situation as these days all high end DSPs and FPGAs are coming with on-chip decoupling caps.
Regards,
Binayak

Library Manager - independent tool - existence
Hello all,
I'm a user of xPeditionPCB and I'm used to independent library tool xDM Library Manager.
My question is does PADS Professional has similar independent tool?
In startup menu I saw only:
- Central Library Migrator
- Job Mngm Wizard
- PADS central Lib Converter
- xDM EDX Publisher
but not Central library manager or somethink similar.
Does exist such tool?
Many Thanks

Can't get PartQuest in xDX design to open
Hi,
I am using xDX designer VX1.1. When I click on the PartQuest in tools drop down I get the error message "Decryption failed: Direct Download users re-extract your .pqz file to ensure you have your part information and pqd.bat present. I extracted the part file where do I put it? I can't get anything to work.

Cavity Mapping Constraint
Good day,
My customer want to create a custom plugins to map the cavity of a specific signal. But with a simple return of "true" in the method "match()" without any body, they having this error message;
Error: Custom Constraint: 'CavityMapConstraint' disabled due to plugin code error. Context: Cavity 1 - Slot Connector P209; Message: 'chs.cof.topology.physical.CAFVConnCavity cannot be cast to chs.cof.topology.physical.ITopoSignal';
This is the simple topology;
the code is;
public boolean match(IXSignal signal, IXConnector conn, IXCavityMappingResult result) {
return true;
}
The method "match()" has no requirement but they are having error, what is this error? and Cavity Mapping Constraint supposed to be looking just inline connector but it seems it also looking at a junction box connector, is this true?
Thank you,
Larry

VB .NET exception error when trying to check whether a component is composite or not
Hi All,
The following are the two lines of code that we have used in the past in VB 6.0 to check all design components in Dx-Designer and pass only those which have symbol type as COMPOSITE. There are no issue with this usage in VB 6.0.
But when we use the same code in VB .NET, we see a exception error getting displayed at the second line of the below code.
Please check and let us know if anything is wrong with this or if there is any other recommended method of checking the symbol type without any exception.
For Each objComp In schApp.DesignComponents("", sTopLevelBlock, "-1", "STD", True)
If objComp.SymbolBlock.SymbolType = VDB_COMPOSITE Then
Note: sTopLevelBlock = gobjProjectData.GetiCDBDesignRootBlock(strDesign) 'Returns Top Level block Name
The exception says 'Unable to Allocate Object Collection'. Enclosed is the snapshot of the same.

ECO file input location.
I am using DXDesigner with Pads netlist flow. I made a simple eco ascii file to rename several nets in pads, no issues. I imported and got the results I expected.
Now I am trying to use this same eco in DXDesigner. I select the command TOOLS>ECO>Import. However DXDesigner cannot locate the eco file I placed in the project folder or any of the sub folders.
Is there some trick or limitation to this?

Read composite symbols directly from Dx-Designer (EE795) using VB .NET
Hello All,
This is to request you to suggest the method that can be adopted to read only composite symbols directly from Dx-Designer, instead of scanning through all the symbols in all the schematic sheets.
Any ideas or methods used in the past are much appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,

I followed Gary's video but doesn't work as in the video.
I am missing PartQuest directory and partquest.ini file after installation. only folder created was PartQuesttools and its directories

Device vs SlotDevice
Hello,
This is used in Integrator
IXDesign design=appliContext.getCurrentDesign();
for(IXDevice device:design.getConnectivity().getDevices()){
IXSlot slot=device.getSlot();
for(IXDevice slotDevice:slot.getDevices()){
}
}
Based on the code above, What is the basic difference of "device vs slotDevice" and "device vs slot" ?
I understand that slotDevice carry many information from the functional device. Other than that what is the differences? Is the device the same as the slot?
Thank you,
Larry

Loading a DxDesigner color scheme file
The attached script loads a DxDesigner color scheme (dxc) file and sets the object colors accordingly.
The dxc file is an xml file with the format described in this tech note: http://supportnet.mentor.com/reference/technotes/public/technote.cfm?tn=mg244190
The dxc file is parsed with Msxml parser, and for every item in the <schematic> node, the script calls the SetDefaultColor method.
The script is run on the shell command line, as follows:
mgcscript ColorScheme.vbs <path_to_dxc_file>
DxDesigner must be running for the script to work, if no DxDesigner is running, the script will invoke DxDesigner in the background and will shut it down after setting the colors.
Please post a comment below if you have any questions or comments.

How to make output warnings/links point to board section and not block section?
I have a lot of automation that reports to the output window using the "vdraw" command. Right now, these links seem to open up items in the Blocks section, which I don't want. I want to link to a part in the Boards section. How can I get this done? This is an example of a component in a hierarchical block that I want to link to in the output window, but I want the link to take someone to component in the Boards, not Blocks, section:
vdraw: Warning 1: Module_FPGA com $1I2345: this link will take you to the component
