  Hi,nThis can happen when you have curved surfaces with sharp bends.nSince you haven't provided any details about your mode, try the following.n1)If you have any cylindrical objects in model (like conductors/coils) model them using a regular polyhedron. This makes the objects faceted rather than curved true surfaces.n2) Go to Maxwell>Mesh>Initial mesh settings and change to classic and move the slider on to more fine mesh.n3) Additionally, you can refer to Maxwell help topics on meshing quick linksnn nBest RegardsnNavya

  HFSS mesher is veeery bad on curved surfaces. It does not support vertex coherency on adjoint surfacesnNever use 3D-curved conductors in HFSS. Either import prebuilt mesh, or set a numbet off vertices for every curve.n
