由于HFSS默认的background material是perfect conductor,为了避免模型错误,同时也为了设定求解区域大小,通常需要设置一个radiation boundary。radiation boundary仅在开放性问题(典型的是天线设计)需要设定,无电磁波泄露的封闭性问题则无需设定。
设定radiation boundary大小有手动和自动模式,懒人法即自动模式,省时省力。It is intended for those who do notwant to worry of the region and the exterior radiation boundaries.
方法有两种:
方法一、在选择solution type时,勾选anto-open region;
方法二、工程文件下,右键model>create open region;


•Radiation boundary conditions(ABC, PML orFEBI) are assigned to the outer radiating surfaces(i.e. faces of the region) to absorball outgoing waves.(只是在面上设定了吸波条件)。
请注意:Using auto-open region, also creates three far field setups.自动创建了三个远场方向图设置,不关心场分布,请删除该设置。

该open-region大小是如何计算的呢?请看如下解释:L=模型对角线长度,Lambda=c/f_solution
•Region padding for ABC is =min(L/2, Lambda/3) and the default for FEBI(exterior HFSS-IEDomain)=min(L/2, Lambda/8), where L is the diagonal ofthe device’s bounding box and Lambda is the wavelength of the adaptivefrequency of the solve setup.
由于open-region内部也是要划分网格的,虽然该方法简单省事,如果模型太复杂,自动设置导致mesh数目太多,导致软件运行速度很慢,也不一定合适,如果模型较简单,就随便使用了。
