What is Circuit Subdivision?

Circuit subdivision is used to analyze a large geometry project for which you wish to reduce the memory requirements and processing time. Subdividing allows you to analyze smaller circuits in much less processing time and at fewer frequencies. Analysis of the automatically created netlist can take advantage of interpolation to produce data for more frequencies than are available from the individual subprojects.

You place subdividers in your project to indicate where you wish to divide your circuit. When you execute the subdivide command, your project is split into sub-projects and a netlist automatically generated which represents the equivalent circuit of your original circuit.

A detailed discussion of circuit subdivision and a tutorial are available in the Sonnet User's Guide.
