3D Geometry extraction and transformation
Project Focus
- 3D Geometry extraction and transformation (e.g. bending, spiraling)
- Simulations:
→ data extraction: inductance, capacitance, resistance
→ wave impedance for HF traces
→ crosstalk / trace coupling
Our fully Open-Source workflow enables designers to prepare simulations for predicting FPC performance and evaluating signal transmission.
Model generation
- Geometries can be extracted from KiCad layout files, DXF, GDS, …
- Completely technology-agnostic process – can be used for etching, printing, …
- Geometries can be rendered and visualized
- Models can be transformed according to user-defined parameters
- Automatic mesh generation prepares geometries for simulations
Thermal Simulations
Elmer: Multiphysics simulations – Joule heat, heat transfer, warping, …
HF Simulations, SI/PI
Palace, OpenEMS, Qucs: HF Simulations (Reflectometry, Signal Integrity, Crosstalk, …)
Our tool
Our tool FTL („Fold the Line“) enables designers to create FPC models and, later, also prepare simulations automatically and retrieve results
