Re: Signal integrity simulation within Kicad

 

This is very interesting indeed! Would you keep us updated of your progress? :D

The input which my solver needs would be an array of polygons,
representing the copper-filled areas on each layer.
I then want to create a 2D triangle mesh and based on that a 3D prism
mesh for finite element analysis.

I've made a quick test program that prints most of the board's geometry
as bare polygons. It's here:

Hope it can serve you as a starting point.

Hi Tom,

wow, that's absolutely amazing. Thank you so much. I just generated 20
megabytes of polygons, running your test program on the A64 OLinuxino
board by Olimex :-)
I hope I can do some SI simulations of its DDR3 memory channel. :-)


Cheers,
Andreas
