Altium has updated the PDN Analyzer extension to resolve an existing issue with designs which have spaces in their component names.  In previous versions of PDN Analyzer, component names with spaces would cause the simulation to fail with the following (or similar) error messages:
[Error]    Flex_6946.PcbDoc    PDN Analyzer    solver stopped due to exception:
[Error]    Flex_6946.PcbDoc    PDN Analyzer    Traceback (most recent call last):
[Error]    Flex_6946.PcbDoc    PDN Analyzer      File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
[Error]    Flex_6946.PcbDoc    PDN Analyzer      File "altium_plugin\pidc.py", line 507, in create_plb_file
[Error]    Flex_6946.PcbDoc    PDN Analyzer      File "altium_plugin\pidc.py", line 494, in create_ICs
[Error]    Flex_6946.PcbDoc    PDN Analyzer      File "altium_plugin\pidc.py", line 360, in __init__
[Error]    Flex_6946.PcbDoc    PDN Analyzer    AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'n_pins'

The current version (1.0.0.43) resolves the problem, simulations will complete successfully if net names have spaces in them.
