SL Card

In the Solve/Run tab, in the Cables group, click the  Schematic link (SL) icon.

Parameters:

Schematic link name

The name of the interface definition between the schematic and the 3D full wave model.

Number of cable connectors

The number of cable paths terminating in the schematic link.

Connector name

The path start/end connector name. Start and end points of a cable path section are uniquely identified using the Connector at start and Connector at end labels at the CS card.

Connector position

The name of the data point coinciding with the path start/end connector name (defined at the CS card).

Number of connections

The combined number of geometric connections between the circuit elements and the full wave model. A connection can be either to a mesh vertex or a port.

Point

The name of the point connected to the full wave model (mesh vertex defined using the DP card). The mesh vertex point can be either a metallic triangle vertex, segment vertex or PEC infinite ground plane (defined using the BO card).

Port

The name of the port connected to the full wave model (defined using the PT card). The port negative terminal should coincide with the reference surface.

Number of reference labels

The number of labels defining the common reference surface, translating to a single node of reference on the cable schematic.

Reference label

The name of the label(s) defining the common reference.

Note:

• If one of the connections references a port, a reference label is required.
• If none of the connections references a port, a reference label is optional.

Include ground plane as reference

Select this check box to include the ground plane as part of the common reference surface, translating to a single node of reference on the schematic.

Note: The triangles (labels) and PEC ground plane that define the cable schematic link common reference surface should not be disjoint.
