I see there is already a couple of threads about this radiation problem occuring among antenna designers, however, I think my problem was so bizarre that I wanted to open a new thread( most problems I see are right over the 100% line like 101%). I already took an antenna class so I know that efficiency =
(mismatch losses) * ( conduction losses) * (directivity)
where mismatch losses = (1 - abs(Γ))^2 and Γ = (zin - zo)./(zin + zo), this makes it clear that efficiency cannot go over 100%
so why is HFSS v.13 giving me an efficiency of 350%??
I am also aware of meshing and have already tried that, but the problem persists.
Here is a print-screen:

PLEASE HELP !!!
