Antenna & Subsystem bi-directional co-design: Dynamic Link using HFSS and Designer/Nexxim
Dynamic Link / Pushed Excitations in Designer/Nexxim links the field & S-parameter solutions
from an EM simulator, like HFSS or SIwave, and simultaneously allows the circuit excitations
to be pushed into the field solvers to see the impact of the total system on the fields
including far-fields.
Dynamic Link/Pushed Excitations are used by:
Linking the pre-solved HFSS antenna project into Designer/Nexxim
Building a subsystem which uses the imported antenna model in Designer/Nexxim
Solve the subsystem with antenna model in Designer/Nexxim
Updated excitations (amplitude & phase) are pushed back to HFSS antenna model, and
fields, active S parameters etc. are automatically updated.
