waveguide to microstrip transition

hi,

i am trying to design a simple waveguide to microstrip probe transition using HFSS. i have a WR-22 waveguide and the substrate for the transition is Duroid-6002. When I draw the geometry and put a probe i get about -120dB insertion loss. The design parameters (width of the probe,air gap etc. ) are arbitrary, so i dont expect very small insertion loss, however, -120dB is way too high?

I am a beginner at the usage of HFSS, therefore, I think that probably there is something wrong with the exications, boundaries etc. Could somebody check whether there is an error in the schematic. I am attaching the HFSS file. Thanks in advance..

Hi!
You should be more careful or learn more about HFSS! :)
The surface of the cavity in the WG is perfect conductor! Use the HFSS->Boundary display in the menu to see it.
Fill the cavity by vacuum and do the microstrip line longer!
