Validating Projects

Before running an analysis on a model, it is important to first perform a validation check on the project. During a validation check, the solver examines the setup details of the active project to verify that all the necessary steps have been completed and that their parameters are reasonable.

To perform a validation check on the active project:

1. Click HFSS > Validation Check. You can also click the Validate icon on the Simulation ribbon tab.

   

   Electronics Desktop checks the project setup, and the Validation Check window appears.

   

2. View the results of the validation check in the Validation Check window.

   The following icons can appear next to an item:

   	Indicates the step is complete.
   	Indicates the step is incomplete.
   	Indicates the step may require your attention.

3. View any messages in the Message Manager window.

   

4. If the validation check indicates that a step in your project is incomplete or incorrect, carefully review the setup details for that particular step and revise them as necessary.
5. After you have revised any setup details, click HFSS > Validation Check to run another validation check. Repeat until the Validation Check completes with no issues.
   Note:

   You can change the strictness with which 3D Model faults are validated.

6. Click Close.
