Shorting of Microstrip Line in Ansoft Designer
I am trying to simulate a structure of a simple microstrip line on ground plane in ANSOFT Designer....I am trying to short the metal(strip) to teh ground?......how can I do it?.....
I guess I have the option for cross-layer plates and via?....but I dont know how can I actually draw them...Can anyone can provide with an example?....
Thank You...
Hi, maverick09
You can use a via to connect the microstrip line and ground plane,edit the properties of the via ,choose the start layer and the end layer,then they are connected to each other.
I don't know whether my answer is fit for you problem.Just give a advice.

Does anyone know abou the number of sides in 2.5 D Via definition in Ansoft Designer?.
Hi,maverick09
When you insert a planarEM design, you can use this way to add a 2.5D via.
The way: menu Draw/Via.
I don 't know why you can't actually draw it?
