I have a filter simulated in Momentum. I want to use the filter as a circuit element to simulate it in chain with active components in ADS.
I followed this video step by step to create EM model of my filter but when I actually import the filter EM model from my library, all I get is .ds file with s-paramters that were simulated.

What I want is to have exactly what the guy has in video - when I have an active element before the circuit, I want EM simulation run again, not just .ds file.

What's even more interesting is that the .ds file it's using is inherited from the original schematic (original name was distributed_1_toler but I copied it and renamed to LPF_my_model).

What is missing in your workflow are the emModel and Symbol views. Have a look at my application note here: https://muehlhaus.com/support/ads-application-notes/em-parameters-momentum

There is no need to re-simulate the passive EM model - you make sure the EM frequency range includes the harmonics frequency range that you use in the nonlinear part for Harmonic Balance simulation.
