HFSS Port Refinement, process hf3d error
I have gone through other threads in here with this error but couldn't get a definite solution. Can anyone kindly suggest what may be causing this Problem. I have attached the hfss file.
Thanks
Are you sure? It looks like terminal 1 is just the outline of the face of trace 1, which is FR4 epoxy, not a conductor. I'm more familiar with driven modal than driven terminal solutions, but I don't think it likes assigning a terminal on the epoxy.

Thank you for your response. As you pointed out correctly, using FR4 Epoxy as material of the traces was wrong. So I changed it to copper, and by that the ports were automatically detecting the available terminals. But now a new error is popping up : Port refinement, process hf3d error: Too few conductors were found on port p1. There should be one conductor for each terminal, with one additional reference conductor. Unintentional contact between conductors may cause this error. . (file attached)
I researched some more and found out that the error may be occurring if the line of integration doesn't touch both the conductors. Can you please suggest a solution for this ? (driven modal or driven terminal anyone).
Its solved now. The second error was coming due to non assignment of reference conductors for the terminals to the port. In the design, the Ground_Plane_B and the Bottom_Patch should be used as reference conductors for the terminals of the traces T1 and T2.
Thank you @kthackst for your help.
