How to use Wrap Function in HFSS to wrap a sheet around a sphere ?
I am looking for a way to simulate a patch antenna in HFSS, wrap around a sphere. But I am not able to find the way to do it.
I have a patch antenna and wrap it around a cylinder surface successfully but when i try to wrap around a sphere I could not do so. I always have error? in HFSS, I dont know why as I use the same method as for wrapping around the cylinder.
Anyone have an any Idea to solve my problem or having any example of such model? Thanks
Please provide the exact error message and more detail on what you are trying to do.
Thanks jstuemke,
Actually I want to wrap a sheet around a sphere. As earlier I have warped a sheet around a cylinder in HFSS but now I also want to wrap the sheet around a sphere. For this I am using the same method as I used to wrap a sheet with zero thickness around a cylinder.
The surface of the sheet touches the cylindrical surface tangentially i-e the sheet touches the cylinder only at one point. then I used the modular tab and used wrap function for the purpose. But in case of sphere i am facing error.
Wrapping a sheet around a spherical surface works as expected for me. I would need your exact error message to help out more.
Here is a small sheet next to a sphere before and after wrapping:
Here is a larger sheet next to a sphere before and after wrapping:
And this is the entry for wrapping in the HFSS help menu:
There are further examples in the help menu as well.
Hi
Thanks Jstuemke.
I have again tried as you said to me but it is still same as first happened. I am following the same procedure but I dont know why it is not properly wrapped around a sphere. I have attached the image as a result of using Wrap sheet command in HFSS.
This warning is shown after this wrapping command and the result is shown in images named as 1 and 2 respectively attached with this post.
