Hello,

I am currently looking to get myself some signal integrity software and I
keep hearing wonderful things about Innoveda's XTK and bad things about
Avanti! Hspice (see below). Is it really true? Is XTK really that wonderful?
I will be simulating traces on boards, will XTK be able to successfully run
a multi-board simulation? Will I have problems converting vendor's IBIS
models into XTK format? What about translating board layout into lossy line
models inside XTK? What about converting SPICE connector models in XTK
format? Are there any caveats to using XTK?

Thanks in advance to everyone.
