Cadence Sigrity Simulation

Mohsin Hayat
Mohsin Hayat over 6 years ago

Hi All,

I designed the PCB in the Altium Designer 18. I imported this PCB in Cadence Allegro17.2-2016 for Simulation. I applied the DC Net & assign the values to discrete components. Then i save the project in *.brd file. For sigrtity simulation the conversion from .brd to .spd format is required. But i didn't find the CAD Translator for spdlinks. Please tell me how can i convert the .brd file into .spd for simulation.

I also attached this document that i searched on one of the Internet blog, but again its didn't help me.I didn't find the extracta.exe file. I attached this document for the reference.

Please help me out in this regard.

    Hi,

    I am facing this error while opening SPDLinks.exe executable.
    I want to convert a .brd file to .spd file for SI analysis, but the executable fails to open.

    The following error message appears when I try to open.

    "The code execution cannot proceed because cdsCommon64.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem"

    Please provide solution to this. If there is any other method

    Thank you
