Onsite Classes
If you have 4 or more students, we provide cost-effective Onsite Classes. The standard class is 2 days long. We cover all of the material that OrCAD covers in 3 days, and more (according to our customers that have taken both classes). There is an optional 3rd day, which has a flexible format. One popular format is for a customer to bring in a project that they are working on, and use this as a "hands on lab", where they can ask questions and have the benefit of the instructor input while working on 'real work'. Another popular format is to add one day of simulation instruction to the layout class.
| Subject matter for optional 3rd day |
Content |
| Hands-on Customer Application |
Students bring one or two projects that they are working on. Parts of the design will be entered, simulated, and analyzed. As problems or issues arise, the instructor will provide assistance related to modeling, spice problems, and the most productive approach to using simulation as a tool to assist the student. |
