Is there a way to pass my RF antenna feed PCB design to HFSS for simulation?

I tried to import an OBD++, but received an error that I don't have SiWave:

Please note that you need SIwave to import ODB++ files and currently the AEDT student version does not have this feature yet.
If possible try using the regular version of AEDT.
All the very best Praneeth.

Thank you Sadly, I do not have a full subscription for SIwave or AEDT (I imagine my research labs do, but I don't think I can use that for a club).
Any suggestions for simulating the board? According to the specs on the student version, it should accept DXF as an import, but it wouldn't take my board.

Yes, the AEDT student version does support DXF format.
Did you convert your ODB++ file into DXF format using some other tool? In that case please verify that your DXF file is error free?
All the very best Praneeth.
