Nelma is a (command line) tool for numerically calculating various
|
||
|
|
electrical properties of printed circuit boards or similar objects
|
||
|
|
composed of conductors and dielectrics (however code is optimized for
|
||
|
|
circuit board-like geometry).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It is currently capable of calculating capacitances between objects -
|
||
|
|
nets on a PCB. It returns a spice-compatible description of an
|
||
|
|
equivalent circuit of stray capacitances that can be for example used
|
||
|
|
for more accurate circuit simulation. Alternatively it can also
|
||
|
|
produce field data that can be plotted for example with Gnuplot.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Support for calculating resistances existed for a while but was later
|
||
|
|
removed because it didn't receive much testing.
