Graphical Objects

A piece of MAGICSTRAP^@ is placed on a substrate. They are enclosed in an air cube.

I/O ports are set inside the device, so they are invisible.

Model Creation

Download the MAGICSTRAP^@ (P/N: LXMS21ACMF-183) data from Murata’s web site. Unzip it in a folder.
Read the database file, LXMS21ACMF-183.fvdb from the folder. See [How to Utilize Black Box DB].
Import the MAGICSTRAP^@ (P/N: LXMS21ACMF-183) data from the Model DB tree.
Import the associated PCB data file (MS183_PCB_Normal.x_t). The import procedure is explained in [Parasolid File]. When the x_t file is imported, the MAGICSTRAP^@ and the PCB are aligned in position automatically.
Create the air cube.

Body Attributes and Materials

Body Number/Type	Body Attribute Name	Material Name
0/Solid	MagicStrap	MagicStrap *1
1/Solid	PCB	008_Cu *2
2/Solid	PCB	006_Glass_epoxy *2
3/Solid	Air	000_Air(*2)

*1 Imported from Murata’s CAE data
The body attributes and material properties related to the inductor will be replaced by the black box data when the solver runs. Therefore the settings here are irrelevant.

*2 Available from the Material DB.

Boundary Conditions

I/O ports are set inside the device, so they are invisible. The impedance of the IC is set on the ports.
