Hi,
I am a newbie to HFSS, however, I have some experience with CST software. Today, I started to simulate a hollow rectangular waveguide. I placed two rectangular planes as ports on both sides of the waveguide but the HFSS showed me the "Port refinement, process hf3d error: Port 2 does not have a solved inside material on either side" error.
1)Is it necessary in HFSS to place the rectangular sheet at the end? I made the sheets longer to touch the metal, and the simulation finished but the are no acceptable port results.
2) why did this error come up? and How to solve it.
3)How is it possible to make the HFSS not consider all environments as PEC in some planes?
