Viewing Ansys Electronics Desktop Design Details

When you insert an Ansys Electronics Desktop design into a project, it is listed as the second node in the project tree. It is named Ansys Electronics DesktopModeln by default, where n represents the order in which the design was added to the project. Expand the design icon in the project tree to view all of the specific data about the model, including its boundary conditions and material assignments, and field solution and post-processing information.

The Ansys Electronics DesktopModeln node contains the following project details:


3D Components

Displays any 3D Components added to the design.

Model

Displays the model geometries in the design.

Boundaries

Displays the boundary conditions assigned to an Ansys Electronics Desktop design, which specify the field behavior at the edges of the problem region and object interfaces.

Excitations

Displays the excitations assigned to an Ansys Electronics Desktop design, which are used to specify the sources of electromagnetic fields and charges, currents, or voltages on objects or surfaces in the design.

Hybrid Regions Displays the hybrid regions defined for an HFSS design, which can be FE-BI, IE Region, PO Region, SBR+ Region, and Dielectric Cavity.

Mesh

Displays the mesh operations specified for objects or object faces. Mesh operations are optional mesh refinement settings that are specified before a mesh is generated.

Analysis

Displays the solution setups for an Ansys Electronics Desktop design. A solution setup specifies how Ansys Electronics Desktop will compute the solution.

Optimetrics

Displays any Optimetrics setups added to an Ansys Electronics Desktop design.

Results

Displays any post-processing reports that have been generated.

Port Field Display

Displays all port fields in the active model.

Field Overlays

Displays fields overlay plots, which are representations of basic or derived field quantities on surfaces or objects.

Plot folders are listed under Field Overlays. These folders store the project's plots and can be customized. See Setting Field Plot Defaults for information on how to customize the plot folders.

Radiation

Displays far- and near-field setups added to an Ansys Electronics Desktop design.

Documentation

Displays files you have added as documentation.

Definitions

Displays definitions for HFSS, including Components, Materials, and more (as applicable).


Note:

To edit a project's design details:

  • In the project tree, double-click the design setup icon that you want to edit.

A window appears with that setup's parameters, which you can then edit.
