Automated Skew Analysis powered by pyAEDT - v0.1

This is an alpha functional version that allows the user to select a S-parameters model extracted from Ansys SIwave or HFSS containing transmission lines and automatically add drivers and receivers and run a transient analysis using Nexxim. Then, it will automatically create Delay and Skew tables between the different nets.

How to use it?

1. On a text editor/IDE of your choice, open the file SparamSkewCheck.py and modify the inputs as seen below:

      inputSparam = r"D:\Scripts\aapyAEDT\SparamDelayCheck\hbm_dqh7_13_notsv_0ord_solvIns.s12p"
      drvName = "N7"
      rcvName = "HBM"
      portNamingConventionSeparator = '.' # i.e: current portNamingConvention="$REFDES.$PINNAME.$NETNAME"
      diffPairSuffix_pos = "_t"
      diffPairSuffix_neg = "_c"
      drv_datarate="3.2GHz"
   
      desktop_version = "2023.1"
      non_graphical = False
      new_thread = True

2. Save it and run it in your PyAEDT virtual environment or, starting on Ansys Electronics Desktop 2023R2, you can run it via the tab Automation > PyAEDT > Run PyAEDT Script
