[Help] Tech file from cadence.

Bahaa
Bahaa over 11 years ago

I am trying to export cadence layout to GDSII files and then import it to HFSS. When I import the files to HFSS, I get a flat sheets. It seems that I have to generate (or export) some sort of Tech file from Cadence. Can someone instruct me to how this should be done or point me to the correct documentation that I should be reading to accomplish this ?

    Thanks. I asked because it might have been a board layout, and you might have been using Allegro or Orcad Layout.

    In Virtuoso's case, you might have some of the process stack information in an ICT file or a QRC technology file, but I'm not sure that's going to help you with setup for the layer stack for HFSS (I only have a passing acquantance with HFSS). It may contain some similar information, but the format will be different.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
