HyperLynx Workshops for Analyzing High-speed PCB Designs

With Xcelerator Academy, you register for a training library that contains one or more workshops (or courses), that are called learning paths. HyperLynx Workshops are delivered as part of a free library – the library has a nominal cost, but a promotional code is provided to bring the cost down to $0.

After learning simulation workflows with HyperLynx Workshops, you can use Xcelerator Academy’s extensive set of HyperLynx training libraries to expand your simulation skills:

•    HyperLynx DRC
•    HyperLynx DRC Rule Writing
•    Practical HyperLynx Methodology
•    HyperLynx Power Integrity Analysis
•    HyperLynx Signal Integrity Analysis
•    HyperLynx DDR Interface Analysis
•    HyperLynx DDR5 Interface Analysis
•    HyperLynx Serial Channel Design
•    HyperLynx Advanced Solvers

The HyperLynx Workshop library provides access to all the HyperLynx Workshops in a single place. To register for this library:

1.    Make sure you are logged in by looking at the top right corner of this page. If you see the words “Log in”, click and log in with your Siemens credentials. If you don’t have an account, create one using your Corporate email (you don’t need to be a current customer). Make sure you are logged in before proceeding, or the registration process will fail.

2.    Use the following link to access the HyperLynx Workshop registration page:   Workshop Registration

•    Confirm the $0 cost and select “Proceed to Checkout”

Running HyperLynx on Xcelerator Academy

You run HyperLynx on Xcelerator Academy by accessing a remote Windows desktop in the cloud, using a HTML5-enabled browser.

•    The first time you run a Virtual Lab, the startup process can take up to 20 minutes. Subsequent invocations will be faster.
•    Instructions for running the virtual lab should be downloaded from the same page you use to start the virtual lab: 

•    You access the VM desktop using a HTML5-enabled browser (we recommend Chrome). The access page lists the Citrix client first, but we recommend using HTML5 instead:  

If, at some point in the process you see a message asking you to download the Citrix receiver, click on “Got It!” to skip the download, since you’re not going to use it anyway.
