What does this error mean and what can I do to fix it? "ERROR 23169 in line 36 of the file xx.pre: Near field aperture: Error in opening and parsing the file(s) [xx.efe] for import"

Ted Zeeff

I'm trying to import near-field data from a Feko simulation into another simulation and i get this message. ERROR 23169 in line 36 of the file GA_ATAR_v5_array.pre: Near field aperture: Error in opening and parsing the file(s) [GA_ATAR_v3_array_NearField1.efe] for import. What is going on?  This error message shows up when the only thing in the model is the near-field data. I captured the near-field data right before importing it into another simulation.  I have no idea what is going on here. Ugh

Here is the .pre file that has a problem.

Hi @Ted Zeeff,

The problem is most likely not in the .pre file but rather in the model itself (.cfx). Could it be that the fields you exported were defined as "Cartesian" instead of "Cartesian boundary"?

 

Would it be possible to attach these files?

.cfx
.efe
.hfe

Best regards,
Torben
