I have a main building block. I want to create a grid/array of this main bock. This grid/array is going to have N by M of this building block with air gap in between each block. Is there any way to automatically create this structure?
Select the desired block----> Duplicate it along the line(Edit----> Duplicate) according to your dimension(M)-----> Select this 1xM dimension again---> Again duplicate it according to your N dimension and this give the NxM dimensional array.
Best of luck
Thanks Vinay, but due to some reasons I need to do this automatically and not manually. I know CST has an array wizard where you can enter values for M row and N column and it creates the array for you; I am wondering if HFSS has the same thing.
This is not a manual process. At least you have to select your block and specify the dimensions(M or N) and also the line along which you want to design your array.
This is also an automatic array designing, like the same in CST.
I think following video will help you, If you need the same as i am showing..
There is way to analyze performance of array with the given designed unit cell. You can create and analyze via array synthesis by right clicking on Radiation tab and inserting desired array.
Thanks
Hello,
actually you have different ways to simulate the array in HFSS:
1) A first and simpler one is to create your unit cell with everything you need as you were performing the simulation of a single element (waveports, radiation Box, ecc.). After that you setup you double click on Radiation --> Array Setup and you specify the characteristic in terms of spacing, number of elements and excitation of the array. After activating this option you will simply need to run the simulation and you will the get array results.
2) Previous technique is very easy to use, but not so accurate. If you are looking for very high accuracy, there is plenty of different techniques to simulate an array. I attach a pdf from ANSYS you can find on the web

Hello,
- You select the desired block,
- Duplicate it along the line(Edit----> Duplicate) according to your dimension(M)
- Select this 1xM dimension again
- duplicate it according to your N dimension and this gives the NxM dimensional array.
You can access to antenna array setup from the "radiation" in HFSS tree. it gives you after the choice between or regular or custom array and you can have simulkation and results as usual.
