This Getting Started guide is written for HFSS beginners as well as experienced users who are using HFSS for the first time. This guide will lead you step-by-step through creating, solving, and analyzing the results of a T-shaped waveguide with an inductive septum. This type of structure is used to split an incoming microwave signal into two outgoing signals. The waveguide’s transmission and reflection of the signal will depend on the position of the septum.

By following the steps in this guide, you will learn how to perform the following tasks in HFSS:

• Draw a geometric model.

• Modify a model’s design parameters.

• Assign variables to a model’s design parameters.

• Specify solution settings for a design.

• Validate a design’s setup.

• Run an HFSS simulation.

• Create a 2D x-y plot of S-parameter results.

• Create a field overlay plot of results.

• Create a phase animation of results.
