  Hi,
  
  I am trying to open a hfss model created in ansys hfss version 13, in ansys workbench version 19.1. How can I do this?
  
  The file that I am trying to open has extension.hfss, and was created in hfss version 13.
  
  My school has ansys version 19.1 installed on its machines. When I first start ansys software the workbench pops up, then I click on hfss in the "analysis systems" menu, which opens a pop up window with 4 options:
  - HFSS,
  - Geometry,
  - Setup,
  - Solution.
  Which option will allow me to view the .hfss file?
  
  Thank you.

  Hi cantaloupe1 ,
  
  I don't think you can open HFSS file directly from Workbench.
  
  Normally, you have to have a match version between Workbench and HFSS (ANSYS EDT/EM) , then you would launch the AEDT GUI from Workbench and do any task in the AEDT GUI.
  
  If you need more info, I would recommend to post your question in Physics Simulation -> Electromagnetics section.
  
  Thanks,
