Workflow ideas
Create a high-frequency model
Start from the device geometry, materials and frequency or operating range. In the intended HFSS preview, create a high-frequency model; the visible result is an electromagnetic model with regions and conductors identified. Review material properties, units, symmetry and geometric fidelity before accepting or exporting it.
Configure ports and sweeps
Begin with the selected excitations, ports and sweep controls. In the intended HFSS preview, configure ports and sweeps; the visible result is a configured solve state with boundaries and source definitions visible. Review reference directions, mesh refinement and solution setup before accepting or exporting it.
Review S-parameters and fields
Use the field solution and derived performance quantities. In the intended HFSS preview, review S-parameters and fields; the visible result is field plots, losses or network results linked to the selected design. Review convergence, energy balance, sweep resolution and design limits before accepting or exporting it.
