HFSS Simulation with multiple lumped excitations

I am trying to simulate a phased array antenna of 5 elements using HFSS v13. I want to see the results in terms of radiation pattern and S11 parameters so I understand that I have to use a lumped port. So i gave a lumped port each for the elements and changed their offset phase in the HFSS>Fields>Edit Sources setting. However, on simulation, my radiation patterrn is similar to that of a single microstrip antenna, i.e Omni-directional above the ground plane. How can I simulate the collective effect of all elements or all excitations acting simultaneously? As far as I understand, only the central element is being fed an excitation and the other ports are acting like matched terminations.

Did you change the magnitudes, or just the phases? It appears that only one of the excitation magnitudes may be nonzero.
