I am trying to get an aedt design from ansys electronics into siwave. I cannot export the model from electronics as ANF file as shown in the picture above. How would I go about being able to create a valid file(s) to export into siwave so I can run DC IR analysis? I am new to this, so any linking documentation to convert already-made models would help. I have files in aedt and dxf form for electronics. Could this also be because I have the student version (it came preinstalled when I started working on this computer, so I'm not sure how to check)

Are you talking about an arbitrary 3D (MCAD) HFSS project? I suspect that may be the case here. I don't know of an easy way to get an MCAD design from 3D HFSS to SIwave. If this was an HFSS 3D Layout project it would be pretty trivial as you don't even need to export anything. The .aedb (EDB) database that 3D Layout creates to store geometry inormation can be directly opened in SIwave.
