Meshing In HFSS 3D Layout

Automatic adaptive meshing is an essential and integral part of the simulation process. An appropriate mesh that supports electromagnetic FEM calculations is essential for obtaining accurate results. Meshes are produced automatically, ensuring efficient simulations in generating highly accurate results. During the simulation process, the initial mesh is created and then the adaptive refinement process begins in which Maxwell’s Equations are solved and the mesh is intelligently refined. This adaptive refinement process continues until the solution is converged and accurate.

In IC mode, mesh regions partition a design into multiple domains, potentially increasing mesh robustness and performance for complex layout geometry. For larger designs, enabling mesh regions in an HFSS solution setup allows users to activate parallel refinement, a process that significantly accelerates adaptive passes by refining each region individually to reach a final solution. Defining a mesh region enables users to leverage mesh fusion and parallel adaptive refinement.
