I usually just click on the &amp;quot;import geometry, mesh or FINE Open Project&amp;quot; button above the CAD Tree &amp;gt; choose the .cgns file &amp;gt; Import mode (import mesh). The first warning I get is &amp;quot;The following cgns files c:\Users.... .cgns, are of type ADF. This file type is not supported since Fidelity 2022.1. Do you want to convert to HDF5?&amp;quot; then i click on yes. I then repeat the process, but with the newly created .cgns file, which leads to the following erros when I try importing it again: Warning : Inconsistencies found in imported mesh. Please, check the log file of the import mesh for more information. Import FINE project: R_C001_.cgns: NIImportFineOpenProject::updateTreeDo() no geometry container Importing the .igg file format of the same project works fine, however I get the follwing information: Mesh Setup 1 with volume mesh has been imported. Imported project contains the volume mesh available for viewing, although Mesh Setup settings are kept as Fidelity default values. I have been also experiencing troubles importing meshes in .cgns formats that I made in fidelity previously. This all leads me to believe, that I&amp;#39;m doing something fundamentaly wrong while importing meshes. Any Help would be much appreaciated. Thank you! </description></item><item><title>RE: shape to void conversion</title><link>https://community.cadence.com/cadence_technology_forums/pcb-design/f/allegro-x-pcb-editor/59513/shape-to-void-conversion/1398724#1398724</link><pubDate>Sat, 15 Jun 2024 04:58:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">75bcbcf9-38a3-4e2e-b84b-26c8c46a9500:1398724</guid><dc:creator>somit</dc:creator><guid>/cadence_technology_forums/pcb-design/f/allegro-x-pcb-editor/59513/shape-to-void-conversion/1398724#1398724</guid><description> No i don&amp;#39;t think it is easy. </description></item><item><title>RE: Plotting to PDF in Design Entry HDL</title><link>https://community.cadence.com/cadence_technology_forums/pcb-design/f/design-entry-hdl/59541/plotting-to-pdf-in-design-entry-hdl/1398723#1398723</link><pubDate>Sat, 15 Jun 2024 04:56:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">75bcbcf9-38a3-4e2e-b84b-26c8c46a9500:1398723</guid><dc:creator>somit</dc:creator><guid>/cadence_technology_forums/pcb-design/f/design-entry-hdl/59541/plotting-to-pdf-in-design-entry-hdl/1398723#1398723</guid><description> What is HDL file? </description></item><item><title>Need help extracting net alias names</title><link>https://community.cadence.com/cadence_technology_forums/pcb-design/f/allegro-x-capture-cis/59578/need-help-extracting-net-alias-names</link><pubDate>Sat, 15 Jun 2024 00:34:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">75bcbcf9-38a3-4e2e-b84b-26c8c46a9500:59578</guid><dc:creator>AB_1717543042707</dc:creator><guid>/cadence_technology_forums/pcb-design/f/allegro-x-capture-cis/59578/need-help-extracting-net-alias-names</guid><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><description> Hello, I want to see if there is a way to extract the aliases of a net using TCL.

Basically, the question you asked is the very issue I&amp;#39;m having. Depending on the hierarchy of the layout, I don&amp;#39;t know how to figure out where the cells are in the data. The only thing I know is the leaf object and the cell I&amp;#39;m looking for are the elements of the very bottom of the concatenated list in hierarchy-wise like the image I attached before. They&amp;#39;re in the same level. Or do I need to check every single element whether each element is &amp;quot;inst&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;mosaic&amp;quot; with the cellname I&amp;#39;m searching? I might need to use a recursive function. And I&amp;#39;m not very familiar with it. Any advice? Please help me!

Actually, I wanted to theoretically calculate the results that I got from the basic simulation. Mobility and cox values are often required in basic calculations. The primitive device model is bsim4. There are two parameters: ron and rout with 52.41 and 51.15 respectively. Which one should be considered? I tried to simulate Ron by putting a port on the drain side of a single transistor and calculated Ron through z11 real part, which is 56.73ohm. (with the required bias conditions of 1.2V at gate and 0V at drain). can I consider it as Rds? Meanwhile, the Rgate is also found zero in the DC operating point list! How can I verify both values, Rds and Rg of the simulated transistor model for the calculation of theoretical equations of basic circuits?

NOTE: To change the symbol graphics, you can open the Part developer (PDV) and can change the text over there. </description></item><item><title>RE: Orcad X on ARM architecture</title><link>https://community.cadence.com/cadence_technology_forums/pcb-design/f/licensing-and-installation/59571/orcad-x-on-arm-architecture/1398713#1398713</link><pubDate>Fri, 14 Jun 2024 12:47:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">75bcbcf9-38a3-4e2e-b84b-26c8c46a9500:1398713</guid><dc:creator>rg13</dc:creator><guid>/cadence_technology_forums/pcb-design/f/licensing-and-installation/59571/orcad-x-on-arm-architecture/1398713#1398713</guid><description> Currently for OrCAD X , here is Hardware requirement: For more details about Hardware and Software requirement for Orcad X, you can refer following link of Cadence online support portal: Cadence OrCAD X and Allegro X 23.1 Installation Guide for Windows -- Hardware and Software Requirements </description></item><item><title>Sigrity: Tip of the day – How to simulate tabbed routed shapes by using a new feature in Sigrity PowerSI</title><link>https://community.cadence.com/cadence_technology_forums/system-analysis/f/sigrity/59576/sigrity-tip-of-the-day-how-to-simulate-tabbed-routed-shapes-by-using-a-new-feature-in-sigrity-powersi</link><pubDate>Fri, 14 Jun 2024 10:51:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">75bcbcf9-38a3-4e2e-b84b-26c8c46a9500:59576</guid><dc:creator>SimTech</dc:creator><guid>/cadence_technology_forums/system-analysis/f/sigrity/59576/sigrity-tip-of-the-day-how-to-simulate-tabbed-routed-shapes-by-using-a-new-feature-in-sigrity-powersi</guid><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><description> Hello there! Are you struggling with simulating tabbed routed, or arc routed shapes in your PCB layouts? Well, we have a solution for you! We understand that hybrid-engine-based tools might not provide the expected results when dealing with complex structures, and full-wave solvers can be computationally expensive. That is why we have introduced an additional functionality in PowerSI to call the Clarity IE solver to solve the selected arc routing and tabbed routing shapes. In PowerSI, you can now use the Clarity 3D-IE solver feature to generate accurate simulation results while creating cutting polygons for parallel tab traces. To do this, select the Enable Cutting Clarity Block (ClarityIE license required) check box from the Special Handling page in the Options dialog box. Then, select the tabbed routed or arc routed shapes by using the cutting boundary option and import them into Edit Cutting Clarity Block . Once you have done that, run the PowerSI simulation, and the shapes within the cutting boundary will be simulated using the Clarity IE solver, providing an accurate solution. This feature will help you streamline your simulation workflow, reduce errors, and increase productivity. Try it today and share your experiences and questions in the comments below. Happy simulating!
