Synchronized Line Types
The line type synchronization is accomplished by matching up the line type names in the process definition (the LPF file, please see the Layout chapter of the help to learn more about LPF files) to the substrate names used. In this example, there are 3 MSUB substrates defined with the names “Thick”, “Nominal”, and “Thin”, and there are 3 corresponding line types in the LPF. The views below will show the substrate models, the electrical model using the substrate, a graph of the insertion loss of the line and finally the layout of the line below the graph, the different line types have different layers and hence different colors.
Below, we update the MSUB parameter on the MLIN element.
When done and simulating again, the results change. Notice the layout is now on a different layer and the simulation results are different due to different metal thicknesses of the substrate.
Alternately, below we change the Line Type of the line from the layout.
The MSUB parameter on the MLIN model updates to this new value, the simulation results and layout also update.
