Extract FFD model from HFSS design

this section presents the methodology to extract an FFD type behavioral model from an antenna design in order to be able to use it in a global system simulation in VISION.

To extract the electrical data from an existing HFSS antenna design, it is necessary to take the following steps:

  1. Open the HFSS Project.

  2. In the “Automation” Tab, select “Embedded element Pattern Export.

  3. It is now necessary to choose in the interface, the design to process, the EM setup, the frequency to analyze and he chosen discretization of the free space. We can also choose the folder where to save the FFD solution (EEP extension directory). Click “Finish” to start the export calculations.

  4. Once the analysis is finished, we can check the content of the EEP directory. The Electromagnetic has now been exported.
