Hi, Tom, I think that you put the right question, so let me elaborate this little bit further: 1. are there any available tools that generate/extract such RLC data out of package data? 2. before I submit the request to package experts to extract one more package format (they will crucify me anyway :-) I would like to know how many people would like/intend to use it 3. I know that the next question is not fair and that I compare here apples and oranges, but if you have one one side such RLC data and on the other side Sparse Matrix data what would you prefer to use? - My choice will be always Sparse Matrix - unless there is some very specific request 4. last but not least, quiet honestly, for me it is still little bit unclear what is meant to describe with "fork" and "endfork" branches ... Is it meant to indicate that for example 2 or more pads are sharing the same pin/ball or something similar - or I am missing the point totally? I thing that one picture (perhaps also in specs) could help on this place.

(pages 117-120 in the 4.1 spec) I was wondering if anyone is aware of any published models that take advantage of this method of describing package parasitics.
