Exporting to File the Fair Field results from Broadband Frequency Sweep

  Hello,
  
  I am writing to ask if there is a practical way in HFSS / HFSS-IE to save to a file (txt, csv, etc.) the antenna far field results (for instance, the total gain) from a broadband frequency sweep analysis, which produces results at hundreds of frequencies.
  
  For instance, if the simulation is done from 100 to 300 MHz, at discrete frequencies every 1 MHz, I want the output file to contain the total gain at every frequency, theta, and phi:
  
  freq, phi, theta, gain
  
  100 MHz, -180, 30, 5.1
  
  100 MHz, -180, 31, 5.2
  
  ....
  
  101 MHz, -180, 30, 4.3
  
  ...
  
  200 MHz, 180, 180, 3.0
  
  I know how to export results to a file from plots. But doing this would be very impractical if I had to save results for hundreds of frequencies.
  
  Thank you in advance!

  Hi Raul,
  
  You can do this with scripting - Go to 'Tools -> Record Script to File' - Now every action you do in HFSS will be recorded to a script file. - When you're done, go back to this menu and select 'Stop Recording' - Use this information to create your own custom script to automatically export all of your far field data...

  Thank you very much Peter. I was able to make this work at least for simple tasks. I will continue trying until I automate the process in the way that is most efficient for my application.
  
  Thank you very much
