| The tutorials below are for earler versions of Speedstack but may still prove useful | |
|
Speedstack Flex Here is a link to a flash video which talks you through an overview of Speedstack. You will note the product in the overview is called Speedflex. Speedflex was recently rebranded and is now called Speedstack Flex – the functionality is 95% the same so the overview is a good place to start. |
|
|
Speedstack HDI This Powerpoint presentation should help you get started. It describes how to set up, and whilst the presentation is aimed at HDI documentation the commands and menus are equally appropriate for flex applications. |

| Tutorials for Speedstack v2 | |
|
Basic Editing Part 1 Watch a short video walking you through the steps to create and edit your first stack; you'll add drills and materials from the library, swap out the core material and save your stack. |
|
|
Basic Editing Part 2 This video shows you how to switch between 2D and 3D views of your stack, swap prepreg materials and add and delete materials in the stack. You'll learn how to copy materials within the stack, change layer types between plane, signal and mixed, move layers in the stack and change trace orientation. |
|
|
Managing the Materials Library Speedstack's materials libraries allow you to manage your own libraries of board materials. This video demonstrates how to load libraries, add materials to a library, import library materials in different formats and create and save library files. |
|
|
Specifying manufacturing constraints Speedstack allows you to specify manufacturing constraints – a collection of manufacturing capabilites from one or more PCB fabricators. Constraints include via aspect ratios, minimum gaps and trace widths and drill and trace aspect ratios. In this video you'll learn how to add, define and apply your own constraints. |
|
|
Adding controlled impedance structures Speedstack lets you add controlled impedance structures to a layer in the stackup. Integration with Polar's Si8000/9000 field solvers allows impedance values for a structure may be calculated at the click of a button. In this video you'll learn how to add a new structure and calculate its impedance. |
