The PCB EM Setup wizard is an MWO add-on designed to help set up EM simulation from imported PCB layout. The two main functions of the wizard are Smart Selection which allows users to quickly and easily define the desired signal nets on their PCB and Smart EM Set Up which provides a single button click to convert the selected signal nets from layout to a simplified EM document with EM ports at the desired component pin locations. Documentation can be found below the Download and Install section.
