Reply To: Simulation of mixed encrypted models

[DimK]

Hello Kilian,

 

In version 2023R2 of AEDT, if an HFSS design contains an encrypted 3D component, it cannot be copied. If you change the definition of the 3D Component and make it unencrypted, then the respective HFSS design can be copied without any errors.

Also, if the HFSS design contains Layout components and encrypted 3D Components with hidden parts, this simulation of it throws the error that you have indicated. A possible solution is to ask the vendor to provide you with an encrypted 3D component without hidden parts. This way the simulation will be possible without throwing the error above.

Another possible solution is to ask the vendor to provide you with an encrypted 3D component, whose definition can be edited. This way you can change the encryption settings, in order to resolve the respective error.

In general, you can run in HFSS a 3D simulation that includes encrypted and unencrypted 3D components, but make sure that there are no issues with the encryption settings (like hidden parts) of the encrypted 3D components.

 

Hope this helps!
