NETEX-O Interfaces to EM Simulators Netex-O has multiple outputs each of which serve a different target simulator. The table below summarizes which outputs are available and which simulator they serve. |
| Output Format | Simulator | Notes |
| ANF/CMP |
Ansys Ansoft SI Wave Ansoft HFSS |
ANF=Ansoft's Neutral File, CMP = component file. |
| 3Di |
AWR MW Office |
AWR has just completed a 3Di importer which supports nets, components and pins in addition to geometry. |
| ADFI |
Agilent/EEsof ADS |
The ADFI format is unique to Agilent's ADS and supports: substrate definition, geometry, drills, component and pins and nets (Note that nets are attached to pins and are not attributes of conductor elements.) |
| ASCII |
CST Microwave Studio |
CST already reads Artwork's ASCII format from NETEX-G. They would have to upgrade their ASCII importer to support the new component information now included in the output from NETEX-O. However as they have their own ODB++ importer it is not clear if they have any interest in doing so. |
| ASCII |
Remcom XFdtd |
Remcom already reads Artwork's ASCII format and may need some small upgrade to the reader to support the additional pin and component information that is created from ODB++. |
| ASCII |
Sonnet Sonnet Suites |
Sonnet already reads Artwork's ASCII format and may need some small upgrade to the reader to support the additional pin and component information that is created from ODB++. |
| XFL |
Apache(Optimal) PakSi |
Artwork needs to update the XLF output to add the component and pin information that can now be derived from ODB++. |
