I have imported a design with two ICs on two ends ans ICs are connected through transmission lines. Then I ]have cut this design in the middle so it can be used to run the EM simulation with the IC pins to transmission line traces. However, I can't edit this cutout design, I can't modify or delete the transmission line traces.

1) Got an error messge "No destroyable item(s) were selected" when I selected the line and deleted it.

2) Trying to setup a port at the edge of transmission line edge by selecting the edge of the line and clicking "Port --> create", the error message showed " one or more selected edges are not valid for port membership". 

Does anyone knows how to fix this?

Thanks in davance.

Hi Meng,

Thank you for reaching out to us and we appreciate your patience.

These are my suggestions to hel you troubleshoot the issue:

1. Did you verify whether your model is successfully imported into HFSS 3D layout? The way you do it is cross check all the nets.
2. Did you run the simulation for the whole model instead of cutting it? Did you succeed in the simulation?
3. Can you confirm whether you were able to modify the model before cutting?

Kindly check the above and let us know. 

All the very best.
Praneeth.
