Hi!
I'm newbie with Ansoft HFSS and trying to simulate lambda/4 microstrip antenna. Until now I have
- drawn a plane on outer cross section of microstrip feed for waveguide port (not assigned to any material. should it be?)
- defined the plane to waveguide port and defined terminal line from the top of the groundplane to the bottom of the microstrip (center of the strip)
- drawn a sphere (radius ~lamdba/2) which completely encloses the whole geometry (at least ~lambda/4 away from model) and defined radiation boundary to it.
When I'm trying to run simulation, HFSS claims:
port refinement process abc3d: Port 'Waveport1' is incorrectly set up. A port must have none existent material on one side. Both "Sphere1" and "Sphere1" exist.
Can I just draw a box to which I define radiation boundary? Can the waveguide port be located on the radiation boundary?
