Get layout statistics#

PyEDB allows you to query a layout for statistics. This page shows how to perform these tasks:

  • Load a layout.

  • Get statistics.

  • Get nets and plot them in Matplotlib.

  • Get all components and then get pins from components connected to a given net.

Load a layout#

# import EDB and load a layout
from pyedb import Edb
from pyedb.generic.general_methods import generate_unique_folder_name
import pyedb.misc.downloads as downloads

temp_folder = generate_unique_folder_name()
targetfile = downloads.download_file("edb/ANSYS-HSD_V1.aedb", destination=temp_folder)
edbapp = Edb(edbpath=targetfile, edbversion="2024.1")

Get statistics#

stats = edbapp.get_statistics()
Layout stats

Get nets and plot them in Matplotlib#

# net list
edbapp.nets.netlist
# power nets
nets.power
# Plot nets in Matplotlib
edbapp.nets.plot(None)
Plot all nets in Matplotlib

Get all components and then pins from components connected to a net#

# Get all components
nets = edbapp.components.instances
# Get pins from components connected to a given net
u9_gnd_pins = [
    pin for pin in list(edbapp.components["U9"].pins.values()) if pin.net_name == "GND"
]
