Mentor® Expedition® is a popular board layout tool but it lacks a 3D-trace-and-via EM simulator like ADS Momentum. Fortunately, you can export your critical nets to Agilent ADS Layout, run Momentum, and extract multi-port S-parameter data from the structure. With S-parameters in hand you can go back into Expedition, or do further optimization, design, and analysis in ADS. The following two videos show you 1) how to export the artwork from Expedition to ADS and 2) how to run Momentum. Momentum uses powerful basis functions called Green’s functions that are precomputed for trace and via current flows. The fields are rapidly solved full 3D.
