Here is what I have found (for what its worth):
I am not sure Xeons are the best.. The Xeons and Motherboards are quite expensive, and you get quite a bang for your buck with i7s..
HFSS is also not completely multi-threaded so you will always spend a lot of time "setting up simulaton" and...
yes... simply rotate the XYZ coordinates 45 degrees and re-plot.
HFSS allows you to plot fields with respect to x and y, so this works.
I tried an example, and it works OK,.,, good luck
Of course each iteration uses more ram.. it is using ever more tetrahedra to mesh.
Waveguide filtters are tricky, as they are large compared to lambda but there are some get-arounds:
If it is a normal type of filter, these are very well understood, and there are standard formulae for...
This error usually means you have run out of memory in your computer,
and occurs after the mesh, half way into the first solve.
You may need to change the meshing options to reduce the tetrahedra count.
Another brief question: in HFSS, when you use the uniform magnetic field with...
There is nothing especially magic about circulator design.. you just have to understand what it going on.
I have desiged many waveguide isolators, mostly Faraday rotation type but also Y junction, with low loss in the 100GHz region.
Yes, machining ferrite is nasty (but not...
Re: meshing failure
This seems to be a recurring problem in HFSS. Most times it is caused by
an edge or junction of edges which is very slightly misaligned due to
rounding errors.
In later HFSS versions there are various "healing" tools for the model. I would run these on each part of...
ferrite circulator
Yes.. I have designed waveguide circulators and isolators using HFSS V9.2.1.
(Faraday rotation type and Y type)
I have also double-checked the results in CST and all agree.
HFSS (at least V9.2.1) appears to have a bug with setting the magnetic field:
Whetever you set the...
Using HFSS 9.2.1 having dificulty generating data table for a radiation plot,
in amplitude and phase, so I can use the data with another programme.
The in-built calculator seems very poorly documented. Advice or pre-worked
example would be very helpful!
2nd Question: If I simulate an...
