In the pre-layout phase of the design cycle when you do not have specific information about the board

stack-up and board layout, you can follow these instructions to explore the solution space when finalizing

key design parameters such as stackup, plane size, capacitor count, capacitor orientation, and so on.
In the pre-layout phase, ignore the Plane Cap and Cap Mount tabs and go directly to the Library tab

when you do not have the layout information. If available, enter the values shown below in the Library

tab. To use the default values, go directly to the System_Decap tab to begin the analysis.

The callouts correspond to the fields in which you must enter values.
