Accurate trace width simulation

juanjoc

Hello everyone

I wonder if there is a way to simulate the accurate width of a pcb trace depending on the flowing current.

Thanks in advance.

    Hello redwire, thank you for your response I am using ORCAD PCB Designer professional, also ORCAD capture and similar tools.   

    This is manually the trace width could be modified

    The picture show how  the trace width could be manually modified. However, I am looking for a tool to simulate the effect of the current flow on the trace width, or  maybe if Cadence changes the trace width automatically

    Sigrity Power DC is the best option but there are many free calculators online that may help. Try a google search for Saturn PCB Toolkit which is very good
