Hi All,

I am trying a 2 turn spiral inductor and combine it with another 1 turn to make a transformer. I did a layout in Cadence and imported it in HFSS only to find out it is of a "Non-Model" type so I cannot change its properties for 3D EM simulation. My inquiry would be, how do you make the parallelogram box in HFSS? Seems like I can only make a normal box and I need it a bit angled as you can see in the far right part of the drawing. Blue is supposed to be Metal 6 and red is supposed to be Metal 5.

Anyone knows how? Thanks!

Al

You could create a box and rotate it.

Perhaps you can turn the Non-Model objects into model objects.
