ansoft maxwell matlab link
I want to Optimize a Balun with Ansoft HFSS v.8 but i don't have Ansoft Optimetrics, for this, i want to link Ansoft HFSS Macro Script With Matlab for Automatic Optimization. if anybody did this work, please help me.
Best regards.
Ansoft is notorious for trying to force people to purchase additional Ansoftpackages (Optimetrics, Maxwell shematic and so), and not use third party programs.
What you want is probbably possible, but would require so much time and effort that you would possible be better off using anoter package.
Sorry that can't help you further, but I wish you luck.
Althoug it's not in detail, maybe useful for your application .
I have done this.
It shoudln't take you more than a couple of days provided you know both programs well. You need the macro manual for Ansoft.
Basically you autogenerate macros from within Matlab which are then run from the "dos" command in Matlab. Simple.
Watch out since you cannot use mesh seeding from a macro. Otherwise it works nicely. I coupled it with a few gradient methods and a genetic algorithm.

I am thinking about how to use GA in HFSS, probably I should try link it with Matlab. Thanks for your info.
In my opnion, its better to sweep parameter than Optimetrics,
because they can give you a good information for parameter variantion
Fellows!
I want to optimize the performance of an antenna arraywith Genetic Algorithms, This GA code is in matlab and the model of he antenna is made in HFSS 9.2.
Please, I need any support with the Macro code and any advice from the people that have worked with this.
Thanks a lot.
NESTOR.
The material is very usefull to me to link with ansoft
With regards

Dear all,
Latest version of HFSS/Optimetrics has GA optimization tool.
wave-maniac
thanks a lot~
im doing something in antenna design using GA for optimization.Anyone works this before?thank you for reading and giving me some helps!

Can someone upload the Ansoft optimetrics?
For HFSS version 11, this example it has to been modified. The visual basic script, I mean.
line 11: Hfss has to be changed by HFSS
line 24:Geometry3DCmdTab --> LocalVariableTab
line 48: change wg_y='2in' by: "wg_y=" & Chr(39) & "2in" & Chr(39) & ""
About the matlab script, there are two functions I can't find in my Matlab version:
Do you have these functions?
Strip
file2str
any help?
abc
how come i cannot see any attachments in this thread?
I am still confused, can anyone help in a clear way, that how to control or interface MATLAB with HFSS?
