After running and analyzing these examples, you should be familiar with setting up, saving, executing, and analyzing PI-DC simulations within Altium Designer. Three examples are included below to demonstrate using the PDN Analyzer, and how multiple loads and power networks are supported. The panel also includes a Results mode that is enabled when a PI-DC simulation has been successfully run – this is opened from the PDN Analyzer Result tab at the bottom of the panel, and may be separately floated.The button (bottom left of the panel) instigates the PI-DC simulation process, and is only enabled once all required parameters have been provided.The Metal Conductivity link opens the Metal Conductivity dialog, which displays the current net conductivity value and allows modification of base metal conductivity and temperature compensation values.The button adds a further Load object between the Power and Ground nets.The button clears the panel's current configuration entries.The button allows the currently active PI-DC configuration to be saved as a nominated *.pidc_config file in the project's directory.The button allows a previously saved PI-DC configuration to be loaded as the simulation settings.The button allows the current PI-DC configuration to be saved (or resaved) as a nominated *.pidc_config file in the project's directory.The button associated with a Source or Load object clears the parameter entries for that object.Source or Load object blocks with a light gray background are not editable – other object blocks must be edited/supplied before these are enabled.Source or Load object blocks with a light blue background are editable or have been edited, and can be further edited if necessary.Power and Ground Net objects with a white background are not editable – other object blocks must be edited/supplied before these are enabled.Power and Ground Net objects with a dark gray background are editable.The PDN Analyzer can also be run in Batch Mode, which will perform a sequence of simulation runs based on a set of PDN Configuration files that have been saved from previous sessions.
