HFSS15: Creating Reports

After HFSS or HFSS-IE generates a solution, you can analyze all the results for that solution. HFSS lets you create 2D or 3D plots. A 2D or 3D plot shows the relationship between a design’s values and the corresponding results of the analysis. You can create reports using either the Create Quick Report option, or the Create <type> Report commands. The Quick Report feature lets you select from a list of predefined categories (such as S-parameters) from which to create a rectangular plot.

For each solution <type> (Eigenmode, Modal, Fields, Far Fields and Emission test, and Terminal), the Results menus present a list of Create <type> Report commands based on the solution data of direct interest for the design. For example, for the Eigenmode solution type, the Results menu contains templates for Eigenmode Parameters and for Fields. These appear on the menus as Create Eigenmode Parameters Report and Create Fields Report. For the Modal and Terminal Solution types, several different types appear, appropriate to each solution type. Each of these Create <type> Report menu items includes a further cascading menu that lists the Display Types available for that report. For some reports you can modify the Display Type from the Properties for that Report. For reports for Transient designs, see this discussion.

If you have created custom report templates (for example, including your company name or other format changes), you can also create a report based on that template by selecting HFSS or HFSS-IE>Results>Report Templates>PersonalLib><templateName>. You can also use the Report2D>Export feature and select ReportData File (.rdat) format file which you can then select for Create Report from File.
