Hi,

Try to export GDS2 files.

HFSS can automatically convert it into a 3D model using a technology file.

See sample technology file below:

// Sample technology file
// --------------------------------------------------------------
// L# Label Color Elevation Thickness
// --------------------------------------------------------------
0 cond2 red -1000 1000
1 diel1 red 0 1100
2 cond1 red 1100 1000

It seems to me that the usual mistake when working with AutoCad just happened to you, you are trying to import DWG not DXF (read carefully the error message). Try exporting DXF from AutoCad and importing it to HFSS.

Try changing the version of DXF file saved in Acad. I have to save dxf files as version 6 in Solid Works.

Hi,

I′m a new HFSS user and I′m trying to import a layout from Momentum to HFSS v9. Does anyone know how to do it?

I′ve tried to import gds files too, and I get the two-dimensions layout in HFSS, but I don′t know how to import the technology file. Can you help me, please?

Thank you in advances

Anyone can provide standard format of technology file?

I got one input from one smart guy that we could import it as 2D, then sweep.

Hi!

if you have a DXF format and still have probelms do send it to me , I will import in HFSS and send you the HFSS project file.

i have faced similair problems during the import of DXF and GDS files. although they got imported into hfss, it was not simulating properly. so i jotted down the coordinates and constructed it in VBscript. it ran perfectly. this was my experience. i hope it was useful.

Ya , I think it is much easier and generic to build a matlab code with functions to generate vb scripts.

CST has good user interface to write scripts over there whereas in HFSS , we have to write using textpad which is difficult to edit and debug.

Hi, I tried to use this format form my importation but it seems not working. Can you give me a tutorial or a guide to create this file .tech by myself?

Thank you

HI

You can type "pedit" in CAD to merge the lines to one closed line, and import HFSS. Or you can transforne .dxf to .sm2 in HFSS8, but it is comflex.
