I'm simulating a conductive ink trace on a dielectric substrate. The microstrip is long and it's thickness is smaller than the skin depth.
IE: Length = 500mm, Width = 0.5mm, Thickness = 10um; Skin Depth = 100um, f = 150MHz
I know typically when simulating conductors that are larger than the skin depth in HFSS, solve-inside is not set and HFSS automatically calculates losses in the conductor.
I think I should now set solve-inside to the object, but does this alone set an adequate mesh? If not, how should I set mesh operations to adequately mesh this structure in this situation?
Also, what kind of mesh operations would you suggest in regards to the dielectric which is also very thin (25um) and very long (500mm)?
Thank You...
