Title: HFSS - importing an inductor
Post by aaron_do on May 5^th, 2010, 9:03pm

Hi all,

I exported a gds file from a cadence layout view, and am trying to import it into HFSS to run some simulations. I have a techfile for the process for HFSS, as well as two .amat files. I found that when I import the inductor into HFSS, only the metal layers are generated. Is this normal? Is there any way to include the substrate information in the exported gds file so that I can automatically import it into HFSS? Or do I have to draw the substrate layers myself?

thanks,
Aaron
