how to create square spiral in HFSS

learning hfss

Hello

Is there a simple way to create square spiral Inductor in HFSS?
To approach attract me:
1. Transform polyline in some 3D shape. How?
2. Draw spiral inductor in Maxwell 2D, import it in HFSS and then extend it in Z-axe.

I tried 2nd approach. Importing works well, but what can I do with this importing form? I searched in HFSS help but found nothing. If this feature (importing Maxwell 2D models to HFSS) exists, it should be a way to use these forms in HFSS simulations, otherwise it's obsolete. Isn't it?

Thanks in advance.

Pavel.

square spiral ??
In my opnion, you can design any kind of shape with hfss
espercially with scripts

how to draw square spiral

I'm new in HFSS, so I'm not aware how to use scripts. Where can I find related information?
Without using scripts which hfss draw tool can I use to create square spiral?

Regards.

What is the purpose of Maxwell 2D?

you can consult to the HFSS 10 full book as a start of learning HFSS

I was look for some exes about planar spiral antenna simulation in hfss,too. I think this pdf will be very useful. Thanks so much.

Solution:
Use the 3D Modeler>Surface>Connect

Thanks Tohoma,

I'm no more on this project.

Anyway thanks.
