KiCad trace impedance over frequency simulation using openEMS

The following in an impressive demo of using the following tools together:

The author also has a course: KiCad Finite Element Analysis (FEA) with free Software Tools

The course consists of the following topics:

  • Learn to use the Finite Element Method (FEM) / Finite Element Analysis (FEA) / Finite Element Modelling Method (FEMM) for KiCad with free tools
  • Perform thermal analysis of your Kicad PCB with airflow or without airflow, static as well as transient analysis
  • Simulate the electric fields around your KiCad Traces and voltage drop across traces.
  • Simulate how current flows inside your layout by simulating the current density and direction of the current (via vectors)
  • FEM / FEA simulations can nicely suplement your LTSpice simulation results
  • Simulate trace heating due to current via simulation of joule heating
  • Lean how to use FreeCAD, ElmerGUI, Meshlab, StepUp to create 3D simulations
