10 HFSS: Getting Started Launching HFSS To access HFSS, click the Microsoft Start button, Select Programs > ANSYS Electromagnetics > ANSYS Electromagnetics Suite 15.0 > Windows 64-bit Select ANSYS HFSS. Setting Tool Options Note: In order to follow the steps outlined in this example, verify that the following tool options are set : Select the menu item Tools > Options > Modeler Options Click the Operation tab Use Wizards for data input when creating new boundaries: Checked Duplicate boundaries/mesh operations with geometry: Checked Click the OK button Select the menu item Tools > Options > Modeler Options. Click the Operation tab Select last command on object select: Checked Click the Display tab set default transparency to 0.7 Click the Drawing tab Edit properties of new primitives: Checked Click the OK button ANSYS, Inc.
11 HFSS Initial Project Setup Initial Project Setup Model Setup Design Solution Type Creating Geometry Geometry/Materials Opening a New Project If a new project and new design are not already opened, then: In HFSS Desktop, click the On the Standard toolbar, or select the menu item File > New. From the Project menu, select Insert HFSS Design. Set Solution Type Select the menu item HFSS > Solution Type Choose Driven Terminal Click the OK button Solution Setup Analysis Solution Setup Frequency Sweep Viewing Results Results 2D Reports Fields Extra: We could have selected Driven Modal for this problem to get the same results. If we were to use the Driven Modal solution type, it would require some additional port setup that can be avoided when using Driven Terminal ANSYS, Inc.
12 HFSS Model Setup Initial Project Setup Design Surrounding air box Solution Type Metal Wire Boundaries Model Setup Creating Geometry Geometry/Materials Excitations Excitation Solution Setup Viewing Results Analysis Solution Setup Frequency Sweep Results 2D Reports Fields Metal Wire 2 perfectly conducting cylinders with a length of approximately λ/2 Surrounding Air Box Air volume surrounding antenna element to allow radiation of fields, radiating boundary condition will be applied to outer surface to act as infinite free space Excitation Lumped port excitation applied to a rectangle drawn between each arm of dipole to provide an RF excitation to antenna element ANSYS, Inc.
13 Add Dipole Antenna Component Insert Dipole Antenna Geometry from 3D Library Components Select the menu item Draw > 3D Component Library > Antennas > Dipole Select Dipole_Antenna_1GHz_ADK Note: The antenna contains parameters for antenna dimensions, these could be changed before the 3D component is inserted or after to tune the antenna performance Click the OK button to insert component into Global Coordinate System Select the menu item View > Fit All > Active View. Or press the CTRL+D key ANSYS, Inc.
14 3D Component: Model Review Review of 3D Library Component: Dipole Antenna 3D components can be inserted into any design using any of the predefined components or can be created from any user defined geometry This Dipole antenna geometry created from the 3D component library contains geometry and excitation that defined a dipole antenna It does not include the geometry for an air volume surrounding the antenna The dipole antenna 3D component is fully parameterized and the geometry can be changed at any time by highlighting the component instance from the model tree 3D Component Instance Excitation Included in 3D Component Model 3D Component Geometry ANSYS, Inc.
15 Create Air Box Create Air box Select the menu item Draw > Region Padding Type: Absolute Offset Value: 75 mm Click the OK button Select the menu item View > Fit All > Active View. Or press the CTRL+D key Note: Air box sizing is chosen to approximately λ/4 away from radiating element. This is the suggested distance when using an Absorbing Boundary Condition (ABC). The finite element method only solves what is drawn in the model, if we want an air volume around the antenna element, we need to include this geometry in the simulation ANSYS, Inc.
16 Add Radiation Boundary Add a Radiation Boundary to Air box Select the menu item Edit > Select > By Name Select the object named: Region Click the OK button Select the menu item HFSS > Boundaries > Assign > Radiation Click the OK button Note: Radiation boundary assignment can be visualized by selecting the boundary condition in the Project Manager window. The radiation boundary acts as a way to extend and make the model look like it is surrounded by infinite free space ANSYS, Inc.

The Solution Frequency indicates what frequency the solutions are evaluated and impacts the size of the initial mesh. Maximum Delta S controls accuracy of the process by indicating the allowable variation between consecutive meshes. It determines when the meshing process stops The Maximum Number of Passes indicates the maximum times through the adaptive meshing process before proceeding to the frequency sweep analysis. HFSS will proceed to the frequency sweep regardless of it meeting the Delta S convergence criteria ANSYS, Inc.
19 Analysis Setup Adding a Frequency Sweep Select the menu item HFSS > Analysis Setup > Add Frequency Sweep Select Solution Setup: Setup1 Click the OK button Edit Sweep Window: Sweep Type: Interpolating Frequency Setup Type: Linear Step Start: 0.8 GHz Stop: 1.2 GHz Step Size: 0.01 GHz Click the OK button Add Sweep ANSYS, Inc.
