Getting Started with SIwave: A PCB Model tutorial and not getting same results

      Hi,

      I have been familiarizing myself with SIwave and as part of that I was working on the tutorial model I got completely different results from the first simulation (Resonant Mode analysis) than what is presented in the tutorial document. I tried to start the model building process from scratch again but I'm getting the same results again.

      Expected results from the tutorial document:

      I noticed importing the component file associated with the PCB file gives a few warnings, could this be the reason that the simulation is not working properly?

      Did you follow the same procedure as dictated in the tutorial. Please check once.
      In this post, you have opened component format of the file where as the the actual file in the tutorial is the anf format file. Please check.
      All the very best Praneeth.

      I managed to figure it out; the figures plotted in the tutorial are from simulation results with all the filtering capacitors disabled. I don't think that's mentioned in the tutorial or I managed to miss it but I managed to replicate the tutorial results by disabling all the capacitors in the design.
