Altium Designer 21: Designated Simulation Tools

Updates to the Simulation interface include general interface updates in addition to the new Simulation Dashboard.

In Altium Designer 21, the stimulation sources used in a design are now considered as special virtual simulation tools rather than custom components and have been added to the Active Bar.

The sources are managed in a dedicated Properties panel mode rather than via a component simulation model, which directly offers access to the stimulation source's parameters and includes a representative waveform preview.

A Stimulation Source configuration can be assigned a Stimulus Name and further names added to the instance as needed. You can then switch between the Stimulation Source configurations from the Stimulus Name drop-down menu.

Also along with the sources in the Active Bar are the Probe tools.
When you add them to the schematic, the value of the specified net is automatically determined and this point goes to the Preparation section of the Simulation Dashboard. And in the properties of the selected Probe, a signal graph is displayed.
