* A FastHenry example using a reference plane * This example defines an L shaped trace above a ground plane which * has a return path through the plane * Set the units for all following dimensions .units mils * * Define ground plane and nodes to reference later * * First define 3 corners of the plane, in clockwise or counter-cw order g1 x1 = 0 y1 = 0 z1 = 0 + x2 = 1000 y2 = 0 z2 = 0 + x3 = 1000 y3 = 1000 z3 = 0 * thickness: + thick = 1.2 * discretization: + seg1 = 20 seg2 = 20 * nodes to reference later: + nin (800,800,0) + nout (0,200,0) * Some defaults to model skin effects .default nwinc=8 nhinc=1 * * L shaped trace over ground plane * * The nodes N1 x=0 y=200 z=1.5 N2 x=800 y=200 z=1.5 N3 x=800 y=800 z=1.5 * The elements connecting the nodes E1 N1 N2 w=8 h=1 E2 N2 N3 w=8 h=1 * Short together the end of the L shaped trace (N3) and its corresponding * point on the ground plane directly beneath (nin) .equiv nin n3 * compute loop inductance from beginning of L (N1) to its corresponding * point directly underneath (nout) .external N1 nout * Compute impedance matrix for one very low frequency (essentially DC) * and one very high frequency .freq fmin=1e-1 fmax=1e19 ndec=0.05 * mark end of file .end
