Model Extents in FEKO

Hello,

 

 have imported an antenna model which is 1.3 cm X 1.4 cm into FEKO. The imported model is away from the working plane or not in the working plane. So I translated the model into working plane (0,0,0) so I thought that I could reduce model extents from 5E+03 to 5E+00. But even though I translated into working plane, the model extents doesn't reduce. Any help please.

    Hi Sravan321,

     

    In principle, it should be working.  Some more information would be helpful:

    1. Did you set the model unit to 'cm'?  Can you confirm (e.g. by using the distance measuring tool) that the model is the size that you expect it to be?
    2. Is there anything else in the model, or is it only this imported antenna?
    3. Is it possible to attach the model?  If not, can you reproduce the problem by replacing the antenna with a cube of the same size?

    Maybe we can drill down to the crux of the problem once there is some more information. :)/emoticons/default_smile.png' srcset='/emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x' title=':)' width='20' />

    The imported CAD looks like it has some faults, which may have contributed to unexpected behaviour.  Attached is a version of the file that seems to work fine (although I didn't try to mesh/run anything).  I recorded the steps that I took in the Lua file, so you can replay them and see what was done.  The version I used was: 14.0.432-293039 (x64)

    Hi Andries,

     

    Thanks for your help. I realized there are some problems with the model. Now everything is pretty fine.
