More About

Importing EMD Board

While importing .emd files for post-layout verification, you can also import relevant .ibs and S-parameter files.

Before importing the .emd files, the function runs ibischk to validate the file. You can access the validation results from the Import and Setup History tab of the Import Board dialog box.

The importEMDBoard function also copies all the S-parameter files and the .ibs files (and all the files the .ibs file points to, including .ami, .pkg, and .dll files) referenced by the EMD file to the <project>/layout/boards/<EMD filename>/ folder.

To use the full S-parameter files in pre-layout, you need to browse to the layout folder and import the files to the si_lib folder like any other S-parameter file.
