Mesh on Ports Non-Planar

      Hi, 


      I have defined a lumped port on a 2D rectangular sheet but am still receiving this error. I have multiple ports defined in this project and I am only getting the error for one of the ports. 



      Design:HFSSDesign2 (DrivenModal), Port refinement, process hf3d error: The mesh on port 1 is non-planar. Check the port geometry and verify that the mesh accurately represents the port.. 



      Is there anything that I can change with the mesh to fix this error? 


      Thank you!

      I have 4 ports spaced around the torus. One of the ports (photos below) is giving me the non-planar mesh error.

      I am asking our EBU experts to check this.
