HFSS15: Reviewing Boundaries and Excitations in the Solver View

After you have assigned all the necessary boundaries and excitations to a model, you should review their order of priority according to the HFSS solver. Reviewing the solver’s view of the model’s boundaries and excitations enables you to verify that their order during the solution process will be as you intended.

To check the solver’s view of boundaries and excitations:

1. On the HFSS menu, click Boundary Display (Solver View).

HFSS generates an initial mesh and determines the locations of the boundaries and excitations on the model.

The Solver View of Boundaries window appears, which lists all the boundaries and
excitations for the active model in the order specified in the Reprioritize Boundaries and Excitations dialog box.

2. Select the Visibility option for the boundary or excitation you want to review.

The selected boundary or excitation will appear in the 3D Modeler window in the color it has been assigned.

• Visible to Solver will appear in the Solver Visibility column for each boundary or
excitation that is valid.

• Overridden will appear in the Solver Visibility column for each boundary or excitation that will be ignored by the solver as a result of it overlapping an existing boundary or excitation with a higher priority.

3. Verify that the boundaries or excitations you assigned to the model are being displayed as you intended for solving purposes.

4. If the order of priority is not as you intended, reprioritize the boundaries and excitations.
