Thank you. Did HFSS -> Analyse All (or whatever it was called), actually run properly? If so, I'd be intersted in any results you got.
I've had HFSS on a trial, and the trial has now expired, so I can't actually look at the file you posted, although I believe the trial will be extended next week, so I'll be in a position to look then.
HFSS sure is one complex bit of software to use. I'm in my 40s and can honestly say its the most complex bit of software I've ever tried using. (This reminds me of something funny. I once saw a CV for a post-doc position where someone had put their software skills. They put "Windows Paintbrush". I can understand putting Photoshop or HFSS on ones CV, but not Paintbrush! Needless to say the guy was not interviewed!)

Dave, I ran the simulation file above submitted by the other poster and it died late in the 'game' with the following three errors:
error: Port refinement, process hf3d error: Port 1 does not have a solved inside material on either side.. (5:27:04 PM Jan xx, xxxx)
error: hfsscomengine, process hf3d died unexpectedly. (5:27:04 PM Jan xx, xxxx)
error: Simulation completed with execution error on server: Local Machine. (5:27:04 PM Jan xx, xxxx)

I got a slew of "info" messages before like these first "info" messages before the error messages above appeared:
info: Bodies "Inner_conductor" and "Dielectric" intersect. "Inner_conductor" will take precedence in the region of intersection. (4:53:39 PM Jan xx, xxxx)
info: Bodies "Inner_conductor" and "Braid" intersect. "Inner_conductor" will take precedence in the region of intersection. (4:53:39 PM Jan xx, xxxx)
info: Bodies "Inner_conductor" and "Braid_1" intersect. "Inner_conductor" will take precedence in the region of intersection. (4:53:39 PM Jan xx, xxxx)
info: Bodies "Dielectric" and "Braid" intersect. "Braid" will take precedence in the region of intersection. (4:53:39 PM Jan xx, xxxx)
info: Bodies "Braid" and "Sheath" intersect. "Braid" will take precedence in the region of intersection. (4:53:39 PM Jan xx, xxxx)
info: Bodies "Braid" and "Inner_conductor_1" intersect. "Inner_conductor_1" will take precedence in the region of intersection. (4:53:39 PM Jan xx, xxxx)
and more ...

Any idea what can be done to make the simulation run 'happy'?
