Re: Ansoft SIwave vs. Cadence Allegro

Mike,

Does SIwave consist similar functions as Microwaveoffice to simulate a 
multilayer EM structure with arbitrary-shaped conductive strips? Is it 
possible to conveniently simulate the mechanical movement of some individual 
parts of the structure, for instance,  select a part of the structure and 
define a based point, the distances between the customized part and the 
based point can then be used as variables to simulate the mechanical 
movement? Thanks!

Regards,
Celine
