Orientation Selectable
Many of Modelithics Microwave Global Models™ within the Modelithics COMPLETE Library™ for surface mount capacitors now include the orientation selectability feature. This capability allows designers to accurately represent the physical mounting orientation of a component within a circuit design. By modeling a 90° rotation of the component along one edge of its length, the feature captures orientation-dependent electrical behavior that can affect RF and microwave performance. This added level of realism enables more accurate simulations, improved correlation between simulated and measured results, and greater confidence when evaluating layout-sensitive designs.
