How to set boundary condition in RF (emw)?

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hi there. I am confused about setting the boundary conditions in Electromagnetic waves,Frequency domain (emw) module. I am designing an adapter to transmit signal, which is with a main body, 3 rear legs and 3 front legs. The rear/front middle leg is connect to signal while others are connect to ground. 1. Should I set a shell to surround this device, and set it in the specific status (such as scattering Boundary Codition)? 2. When I set the 2 ports in Numeric, the Intergration Line for Voltage seems like a must. How to choose this line and what is it used for? 3. When I try to solve the model, it reports that

"Undefined value found. - Detail: Undefined value found in the equation residual vector. There are 32 degrees of freedom giving NaN/Inf in the vector for the variable comp1.E10..."

Many thanks!

Q1:"Should I set a shell to surround this device, and set it in the specific status (such as scattering Boundary Codition)?" A1: Yes,probably, but I may be misunderstanding what you are talking about. By your phrase "an adapter to transmit signal," do you mean... anantenna? Q2: "When I set the 2 ports in Numeric, the Intergration Line for Voltage seems like a must. How to choose this line and what is it used for?" A2: Not sure what you mean by "the 2 ports." Do you have two ports? Many antennas only need one port. Do you, perhaps, possbly have twowiresdriving your device, which would technically be onlyoneport? But ok, let's assume you have two ports -- are they both (or just one, or neither) transmitting and/or receiving? Do youneedto use numeric ports? Many times simpler RF or lumped ports will work well enough. I'd have to see more about what you are actually trying to do, to answer this question. Q3: "...Undefined value found..." A3: I don't know. I suggest you post your .mph file to the forum.
