Common Tasks

This section provides quick recipes for everyday operations with PyEDB.

Accessing and Modifying Nets

from pyedb import Edb

edb = Edb(edbpath=edb_path, version="2025.2", grpc=True)
# Get a net by name
net = edb.nets["DDR0_DQ0"]

# Rename a net
net.name = "DDR0_DQ0_NEW"

# Get all net names
all_net_names = list(edb.nets.netlist.keys())

Working with Components

from pyedn import Edb

edb = Edb(edbpath=edb_path)
# Get a component by name
comp = edb.components["R1"]

# Get component placement
print(f"Component {comp.name} is at {comp.location}")

# Set new placement
comp.location = [0.01, 0.02]  # X, Y

Creating a Simple Simulation Setup

from pyedb import Edb

edb = Edb(edbpath=edb_path, version="2025.2", grpc=True)
# Create a SIwave DC IR analysis setup
setup = edb.create_siwave_dc_setup("my_dc_analysis")

# Add a 3.3V voltage source
vrm_components = edb.components.Others["J1"]
positive_pin = vrm_components.pins["1"]
negative_pin = vrm_components.pins["2"]
edb.source_excitation.create_voltage_source(
    terminal=positive_pin, ref_terminal=negative_pin, magnitude=3.3, phase=0
)

# Save and close EDB
edb.save()
edb.close()
