​Ansys EMI EMC: Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)

The Ansys EMC/EMI: Electrostatic Discharge course explores the topic of unwanted currents that may result in damage to electronic equipment from an ESD Gun source. This course is designed for intermediate-advanced users and includes one workshop that demonstrates two methods of solution - HFSS Transient and Ansys HFSS™ high-frequency electromagnetic simulation software frequency domain solution combined with the Circuit transient solver - to perform Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) analysis on a board from start to finish in Ansys Electronics Desktop (AEDT)™ electronics systems design platform.

Learning Outcomes:

Following completion of this workshop, you will be able to:

• • Import an ESD Gun waveform and apply it for transient current source in Ansys HFSS software Transient and in Circuit designer.
  • Export touchstone file and import it into Circuit designer to be applied by Nexxim transient solver.
  • Simulate currents on RLC terminals both in Ansys HFSS software and Circuit designer.

Prerequisites:

• • Prior knowledge of Ansys HFSS software design, solution types, boundary conditions, excitations, analysis setup and relevant parameters including transient data quantities are required.
  • Knowledge of Circuit design and Nexxim transient solver are required.
