I know that we can extract the s parameters of a trace from Ansys siwave and convert it to the rlc spice equivalent circuit. Can we use this closed box s parameter model directly as a port for circuit simulation on the electronics desktop?

 

Or should we create an rlc spice equation model from s parameters?

You can import an SIwave design directly to AEDT Circuit :

As Aymen pointed out you can use that icon to directly link to the SIwave project. And yes, in that case SIwave will directly provide the Circuit tool in AEDT with the solved s-parameters from the SIwave project. But to go back to the initial question, yes the circuit tool can handle s-parameters directly without having to convert to an equivalent circuit model. If you the "Nport" icon in the Component Libraries window, that will allow you to point to any arbitrart s-parameter file. Touchsone files are the most common ones used for this.
