Abstract: A computer-implemented method of simulating a vertically-oriented current distribution of current flowing through a plurality of layers of one or more three-dimensional conductors embedded in a shielded multi-layered dielectric includes the steps of dividing portions of the circuit into subsections, the portions containing z-directed current into rectangular prisms; independently modeling a current distribution within each subsection, and, specifically, within the rectangular prisms, independently modeling a basis function of linearly changing or uniform current along the z-axis; independently determining the fields resulting from such assumed basis functions; determining a voltage induced by such determined fields, corresponding to a transfer impedance or transfer admittance of the subsection; and calculating a current distribution in one or more conductors according to the transfer impedance or transfer admittance of each subsection and an assumed voltage across each subsection.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for performing an electromagnetic analysis of an electrical circuit. One or more super-sections are each defined as electromagnetically isolated portions of an electrical circuit that can be analyzed and processed in parallel. Optionally and preferably, at least some of the super-sections are defined to overlap each other in order to support a range of continuity of analysis that prioritizes coverage based upon the proximity between ports of interest. As a result, the invention provides an improved combination of accuracy, efficiency and scalability relative to other known electromagnetic analysis techniques.

Abstract: Conformal meshing is a technique for selecting basis functions such that an accurate representation of the actual current distribution is realized with only a few subsections. This invention relates to conformal meshing, which allows a circuit to be analyzed with an error corresponding to a very small cell size while maintaining the speed normally seen when using a large cell size. Conformal meshing in accordance with this invention bends the subsection to fit the edge of the metal. The current distribution in the subsection is also modified by the introduction of strings, as will be described in more detail later, to accurately represent the high edge current caused by the edge effect. This represents a considerable improvement over existing meshing techniques.
