EDB: Rename nets and ports#

This example shows how you can use PyEDB to rename ports and nets.

Perform required imports#

Perform required imports, which includes importing a section.

[1]:

from pyedb import Edb
from pyedb.generic.general_methods import generate_unique_folder_name
import pyedb.misc.downloads as downloads

Download ANSYS EDB#

Download ANSYS generic design from public repository.

[2]:

temp_folder = generate_unique_folder_name()
targetfile = downloads.download_file("edb/ANSYS-HSD_V1.aedb", destination=temp_folder)

opening EDB#

Opening EDB with ANSYS release 2024.2

[3]:

EDB_VERSION = "2024.2"
edbapp = Edb(edbpath=targetfile, edbversion=EDB_VERSION)

PyEDB INFO: StdOut is enabled
PyEDB INFO: Logger is initialized in EDB.
PyEDB INFO: legacy v0.35.dev0

Renaming all signal nets#

Using the net name setter to rename.

[4]:

for net_name, net in edbapp.nets.signal.items():
    net.name = f"{net_name}_test"

Creating coaxial port on component U1 and all ddr4_dqs nets#

Selecting all nets from ddr4_dqs and component U1 and create coaxial ports On corresponding pins.

[5]:

comp_u1 = edbapp.components.instances["U1"]
signal_nets = [net for net in comp_u1.nets if "ddr4_dqs" in net.lower()]
edbapp.hfss.create_coax_port_on_component("U1", net_list=signal_nets)
edbapp.components.set_solder_ball(component="U1", sball_diam="0.3mm", sball_height="0.3mm")

[5]:

True

Renaming all ports#

Renaming all port with _renamed string as suffix example.

[6]:

for port_name, port in edbapp.ports.items():
    port.name = f"{port_name}_renamed"

Saving and closing EDB#

Once the EDB saved and closed, this can be imported in ANSYS AEDT as an HFSS 3D Layout project.

[7]:

edbapp.save()
edbapp.close()

[7]:

True
