HFSS: Using Q3D to solve the DC point

      Hello,

      When using the "Use Q3D to solve the DC point" option, within a frequency sweep in the HFSS, the simulation returns the following error:

      The simulation profile contains the following information:

      The model consists of a PCB cutout and additional bodies: part of a housing, connector enclosure, a few wires (geometries united with the connector pins) and a copper bar connecting the housing to a reference plane:

      The aforementioned reference plane is a "Perfect E" boundary assigned to the bottom face of the airbox:

      There are multiple lumped ports and RLC boundary conditions defined between various copper lines/planes of the PCB:

      My goal is to compute a scattering matrix of the PCB, to be then used in a transient analysis (utilizing the Nexxim solver in the Circuit environment). Hence I need to sweep the frequency from the DC up to the end of the bandwidth of interest (400 MHz):

       

      The HFSS mesh is computed for the 400 MHz:

       

       

      I haven't found any details regarding the error message. Could you please explain the meaning behind it?

       

      Best regards,

      Maciej
