Start Analysis button does nothing

JR202506164023

Im very new to Cadence EDA. Im trying to SI analysis but after I choose the nets to analyze and go to click "Start Analysis" it does nothing.

I have installed the program in a place other than the C drive.

    Check the PCB Editor Command Prompt for any messages. You need the SIGRITY_EDA_DIR Windows Environment Variable set to allow PCB Editor to find the Sigrity installation and you need to use the correct versions of PCB Editor and Sigrity. You could delete the allegro.geo file from the pcbenv folder to reset the position of the floating panes, in case the form is hidden, or was previously on another screen.

    Hello, if I search for Sigrity Aurora in Start, go to the location, copy the path (C:\Cadence\SPB_23.1\tools\bin) and add it the system variables it now gives me this error when I press "Start Analysis". I tried different paths but they didn't work. 


    The console never showed anything

    You need an installation of the Sigrity products to support the Workflows within PCB Editor. SPB 23.1 Base needs Sigrity 2023.1 HF2, SPB 23.1 QIR1, and later, needs Sigrity 2023.1 HF3 to Sigrity 2024.0 PCB Editor finds the Sigrity routines required from the Sigrity installation through the SIGRITY_EDA_DIR Windows Environment variable. The required routines are not part of the SPB product installation so adding path entries for the SPB tools\bin folder won't help.
