Geometry Imperfections and Complicated Models

Modeler>Import

Many formats can be handled. It is recommended to import a version of the geometry that is as close as possible to its source, rather than geometries that have been translated before from one format to another, or that have been imported into another computational tool and later exported from it.

Modeler>Validation Settings

Geometry imperfections are listed as kernel errors when executing HFSS>Validation Check and when starting an analysis. It is recommended to attempt to heal objects with such errors. However, HFSS enables you to bypass the errors (not the check itself) by choosing a setting under Modeler>Validation Settings. "Warning Only" enables you to ignore all errors. "Basic" enables you to bypass all but the most severe errors. The HFSS mesh generator has been enhanced to handle many geometry errors.
