Workflow for Analysing Cables by Importing From a .KBL File
The general process is explained for setting up a complete cable analysis by importing a complex cable harness from a .kbl file.
- Import the .kbl file.
- Find specific cable instances and combine the multiple single conductors into a single cable.
- Specify the solution method for the outer cable problem.
- Specify the cable coupling parameters.
- Open the cable schematic view of each harness.
- Add the circuit elements (for example, resistors, capacitors, inductors, SPICE circuits, ports, ground) and connect the connector pins to the circuit elements.
- Define the sources, loads and requests.
- Add sources and loads to the cable ports.
- Add schematic probes, cable probes or S-parameter requests to request results.
