• Adaptive Meshing
– Same adaptive meshing technology as HFSS
• Material Definitions
– Same as HFSS
– Frequency dependent dielectrics
– All dielectrics must be isotropic
• Boundary Conditions
– Finite Conductivity/Perfect Electric Conductors
– Infinite ground planes
– Aperture opens up a "hole" in a conducting boundary
– Impedance
– Lumped RLC
