3DS.COM/SIMULIA © Dassault Systèmes | 6/30/2017 | ref.: 3DS_Document_2015

Simulation project setup as

a Schematic task. It can
include a 3D simulation of
the feed antenna along
with other DS blocks or
TOUCHSTONE® files.

 Export combined farfield as a source
3DS.COM/SIMULIA © Dassault Systèmes | 6/30/2017 | ref.: 3DS_Document_2015

PP task setup to
export the AC
combined farfield
result as a source.

 Reflector simulation setup
3DS.COM/SIMULIA © Dassault Systèmes | 6/30/2017 | ref.: 3DS_Document_2015

Reflector simulation setup with

the IE solver; the field source
from the ‘Feeding_DS_Horn_FF’
task is defined with its position
details directly taken over from
the assembly layout.

 Parameter sweep/Optimization tasks
3DS.COM/SIMULIA © Dassault Systèmes | 6/30/2017 | ref.: 3DS_Document_2015

The simulation tasks can be

embedded in a Parameter
Sweep/Optimization task to see
the effect of changing the feed
antenna parameter on the farfield
pattern of the reflector dish. Radius= 1 cm Radius= 2 cm
