simplify all the Vias for EM simulator

Mooh
Mooh 2 months ago

Hello everyone,

I'm looking to replace all Via Arrays with a single, large rectangular Via . Does anyone know of an existing Skill script that can accomplish this?

I've tried using the script below, but unfortunately, it didn't work as expected. If anyone has a solution or can point me in the right direction, I'd greatly appreciate it."

    Which EM simulator are you using? With EMX and Clarity this should not be necessary...

    I'm sure that code could be adapted if you really need do do this preparation work, but almost certainly it would need updating to suit your needs. It's not clear what didn't work for you (I suspect the layer names would need to change at least).
