How to calculate band diagrams using HFSS?

I am trying to calculate the band diagrams of certain structures, such as photonic crystals, by using HFSS. I was able to do so by using periodic boundary conditions in CST. But I can not figure out how to do it in HFSS. Does anyone have experience in such calculations by using HFSS?
This may help

unfortunatley my only practical experience of PBGs is with CST also
Sorry, forgot to mention that this was the article I used when getting a model running in CST!! (so should be good for HFSS)
why HFSS has to be so counterintuitive? I set up a unit cell as I did in CST, applied master-slave boundary conditions. And the result is not even close to CST. The band diagram I got from CST is almost identical to the band diagram obtained from a plane wave expansion method. I know, I am doing something wrong in HFSS. But I can not figure it out.
