I am modeling the antenna pattern of a dipole antenna mounted on a spacecraft. The model works with the dipole and the spacecraft bus. However, when I go to add solar panels and run the simulation I receive the following error:<br \/>&#8220;[error] Port refinement, process hf3d error: Port &#8216;1&#8217; eliminated.&nbsp; Likely causes are Material Override or faulty material assignment.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>I have checked multiple times that the objects in my model do not overlap and that they have materials assigned. The strange thing is that when I remove one panel or the other, the model works. When I add both panels, the simulation fails. It does not seem to matter which panel is added, the model completes with one, and fails with two.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-43217","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_old_topic_id":["15398"],"_bbp_old_topic_author_name_id":["Anonymous"],"_bbp_old_is_topic_anonymous_id":["false"],"_bbp_old_closed_status_id":["publish"],"_bbp_author_ip":[null],"_bbp_old_sticky_status_id":["normal"],"_bbp_likes_count":["0"],"_btv_view_count":["2175"],"_bbp_subscription":["250441"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_status":["publish"],"_bbp_topic_id":["43217"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27793"],"_bbp_engagement":["165063","176275"],"_bbp_voice_count":["2"],"_bbp_reply_count":["4"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["115716"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["115716"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2020-05-26 13:02:45"]},"test":"btober"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/43217","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/43217\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=43217"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
