Hello,

I am trying to solve an electromagnetic wave propagation problem with a frequency of140 GHz(which corresponds to a wavelength of2.14 mm).

My issue is the results seem to have quite bad resolution (attached screenshot of the wave power). I am using an adaptive mesh, which scales fromwavelength / 2towavelength / 4(attached screenshot with the mesh of the model). Since my problem is axis-symmetric, I tried to create a symmetric mesh, by copying the domain of the one half to other half (the orange curve in the graph). Even with this trick, however I was not able to increase the mesh resolution, as the model was running out of memory while solving the problem (when I tried to scale the mesh fromwavelength / 4towavelength / 6for example).

Is there any idea how can I increase the resolution of the results without necessarily pushing the mesh resolution way too high?

Best wishes, Christos Vagkidis

Christos,

your model is mirror symmetric, so you can cut away half of the geometry and set a symmetry boundary at the mirror plane. Check the documentation or examples to learn how to use symmetries. Typically you need six mesh elements per wavelength in RF models.

Hello Edgar,

Thank you very much for your help. This approach indeed helped a lot.
