However, instead of using microstrip, my design uses grounded coplanar waveguide. I can create the ports but HFSS\/AEDT errors with the following message: PortX: could not located hte terminal in the mesh Ground. The port could be intersected by a cutout or via.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I admit that my knowledge of planar 2.5 may be outdated by the current HFSS\/AEDT, but this used to work many years ago.
