How to improve simulation and make it to converge in HFSS

Hi everybody,
I have recently conducted a series of simulations in HFSS to have backward wave characteristics of Jerusalem Cross FSS layer. But unfortunately I can not have any converged results even if I have logically true results.
My configuration is as follows:
Sweep: 0.2GHz to 27GHz with 0.2GHz
Solution Freq: 27 GHz
Maximum # of passes: 10
Maximum delta per pass: 0.002
Do Lambda Refinement: Checked Target: 0.3333
Refinement Per Pass 20%
Minimum # of passes: 10
Minimum # of converged passes: 1

It seems like there is not even one converged pass!

Try to set:
Maximum delta per pass: 0.02;
Refinement Per Pass 30%;
Do Lambda Refinement: Checked Target: 0.1.

I think you can try manual mesh to improve the speed of convergence.

How to adjust meshing for my purpose, I cant get it very much?

Thanks borich but your configuration is also "NOT CONVERGED!"
I am tired of this, meshing manually can really help?

Hi,
1- I have the same problem when analysing microstrip p@tches. the reason of my problem was that because of radiation boundary condition the resaults converge very late (after 20 passes), but i had sett maximum of passes less than ten.
so I propose
change maximum of passes higher that 20, max delta per passe about 0.03 and refinement per passes about 10%.

2- in this condition if again solution don't convege, please send us result of "delta per pass" for all passes.

hope to sacceed.

OK! Then you need to increase the maximum of passes up to 20 and set Refinement Per Pass - 40%.
