Hi Praneeth, thank you for your reply~

 The version of AEDT I used is 2023R1 before I realized the trouble of  boolean subtract, and then I updated AEDT to the newest 2024R1.

I'm familiar with the operations of HFSS, and I've checked the thicken sheet command should be correct, as shown below. 

According to your reply to my main question, I hide all the other objects and record the result.  All these sheets are on the same plane.

Screenshots as follows.

Group A: selected result of rectangles substract rows of hexagons

Group B: selected array of hexagons

result of subtract(A-B),which is obviously incorrect

For all these reasons, I'm afraid there is something wrong with this boolean subtract function.

In addition, I also hope to get some advice on my third question: how to implement a "merge-like" operation in HFSS, which means unit a duplicated object itself if parts of it intersect to other parts.

Looking forward to your further reply~

Best regards,

Changming Song.
