Hi Ansys Support Team,

I am currently designing a metasurface in the millimeter-wave frequency range using Ansys HFSS, and I am looking for an official guide, application note, or tutorial on unit cell simulations.

Could you please recommend a tutorial or documentation that explains how to properly set up and simulate a unit cell in HFSS? Specifically, I am looking for guidance on:

• Setting up appropriate boundary conditions and control over the unit cell replication/periodicity directions (e.g., Master-Slave / Periodic boundaries or Floquet ports).

• Setting and controlling the polarization and orientation of the $E$ and $H$ fields for the excitation.

• Extraction of relevant parameters (e.g., S-parameters, reflection/transmission phase response).

I would greatly appreciate any recommended resources or example HFSS project files, particularly tailored for millimeter-wave metasurface applications.

Best regards,

Dr. Daniel Rozban
