    Hi Froumsia,

    Please select "Simulation mesh" in the Mesh Exporter Tool dialog.
    You seem to have chosen "Model mesh" and you don't have one? as the error box states.

    Good morning Zeina.

    Thank you for your response. This is exactly what is happening. Now how do I export an antenna model to a Gerber file?

    Hi,


    You can export a mesh in Gerber file format as you have tried to do. Please select, as I have mentioned in the previous reply, "Simulation Mesh" and then ok.


    There's nothing else you need to do.

    Best Regards,

    Zeina

    Yes Zeina,

    I did as you said, but different message was displayed :"The format is not correctly supported for export".

    I see, in that case can you please share the *.cfx?

    Thank you for sharing Froumsia.

    It seems that the export to Gerber is only available using "Legacy CADFEKO". From your screenshot I see now that you are using the default CADFEKO which for the time being does not support this type of export.

    A workaround is to recreate your model using Legacy CADFEKO
    You can activate it from the Feko launcher:

    Then from the Home tab you can launch it  (the C in the icon shows in blue for Legacy):

    I hope this helps!
