Hfss 3d Component Model User Guide

To import a 3D component model into an HFSS PCB launch model: 1. In HFSS, go to Draw>3D Component Library>Browse to import the component. 2. Enter the password "amphenol" and click OK to import. 3. Position the component flush with the board and ensure no interfering objects. The simulation can then be run normally to optimize the PCB launch performance with the connected component.

Importing a 3D Component

onto a PCB Launch Model


11/9/2017

1
 Please note, you must be using the latest version of ANSYS
HFSS software. 3D Component Models created in a previous
version of the software may be available by special request.

 To avoid ACIS errors, unit of measurement should be set to mm.

2
In HFSS, go to Draw>3D Component Library>Browse

3
Import the 3D component for the connector

4
Enter the password “amphenol” and click ‘OK’

5
Click ‘OK’

6
Select the entire component via the side menu and position the component on the launch model
so that it is flush with the top of the board. Ensure that no objects are interfering with the
component or enable materials override in the HFSS design settings. Note that although the
internal geometry is hidden, it will still simulate as normal.
7
A small amount of solder is already modeled on the center pin, but if an accurate solder
model is needed, solder can be modeled on the pad around the center pin as desired. Solder
will also need to be modeled around the ground pins of the connector.

8
The mated connector interface and input port are already modeled internal to the 3D
component. Because of this, the front face of the connector must be against the edge of the
airbox. From there, model a board-side port object and analysis setup can be performed as
normal.
9
The simulation can then be run as normal, and the PCB launch can be optimized for
best performance with the connector.
