no convergence iterative

I am starting using Feko and I have a little problem...
I have designed a hornantenna feeded with a waveguide excitation. I would like to calculate the S-Parameters. When I simulate only the antenna, I don´t have any problem.
Then I drew a dielectric Cuboid in front of the aperture of the antenna, I enabled volume meshing and I put a second waveguide port after this cuboid (I want to knwo how much power is transmitted through the cuboid)
I chose the meshing suggested by Feko.
But when I run Feko, the iterative solver has no convergence after 500 iterations. What could I do? If I force stopping for a residuum of 0.01, will the result be plausible?

Thank you for your help

port on cuboid feko

Can you upload your models?
 

cuboid antenna using feko

this is my model, but without meshing because i made it with FEKO Lite...
But in my labor, I am using FEKO with all its abilities!
 

Re: no convergence with Feko

The LITE version is quite limited, I assume your mesh size is too coarse (to fit into LITE) and this is causing the convergence problem. What about surface meshing for the dielectric?
