Hi, Guys 

 

Does any one know if it is possible to add a port for the imported mesh? I tried NAS and fhm formats and failed.

    Hi Cris

     

    Yes, this is possible in CADFEKO. All (geometry) ports in Feko also have equivalent 'mesh port' representations and you should be able to define these on your imported mesh.

     

    For example, if you have both geometry and an imported mesh in your CADFEKO model, and you select the option to create an 'Edge port', CADFEKO would ask you if you want to create a 'geometry port' or a 'mesh port'. If you only have an imported mesh, CADFEKO would open the mesh port creation dialog when selecting to create a port.

     

    One point to note is that the port creation requires mesh elements to be defined in the required labels. For example, to create an edge port on a mesh, you would have to have the mesh elements grouped into at least two 'faces': one for the positive face of the port and one for the negative face.

     

    If you could provide more detail on your mesh and the type of port you are trying to create, we might be able to provide more detailed suggestions.

     

    Kind regards,
