Can I "group" items in HFSS? If so how?

I'm an HFSS newbie, so please excuse the ignorance. In fact, I'm using a trial of version 13. I must admit Ansof have been helpful, and we had a 1.5 hour Webex seminar with a helpful application engineer. But there is something that I am stuck with.

I'm trying to model a Coaxial Colinear (CoCo) antenna. This sort of thing.

**broken link removed**

I've drawn the inner, dielectric, braid and PVC covering of one section of the coaxial cable. I need to replicate that 8 times, which I know how to do. The Ansys engineer showed me how to select the items, then duplicate them along the axis.

I'm wondering if HFSS has the ability to "group" objects in the way one does in typical CAD packages. Then once grouped, I can select just one object and duplicate that, without having to select all the different parts.

Dave,

You can create an Object List in HFSS that will group objects into a single selectable entity. To do this, First select the mode to select objects. You can do this by either just hitting the letter 'O' or by going to Edit -> Select -> Objects. Then select all of the objects that you would like to have grouped, then go to Modeler -> List -> Create -> Object List. A new object is then available under the 'Lists' object in the Modeler Tree.

Have Fun
