1.Create a new project of Type Circuits & Systems 》 Assembly. Save it as Assembly.cst.
2.open the 3D Component Library
3.find the Reflector Dish project,
4.selecting the Horn Antenna project
5.Download a copy of the latest revision, followed by Add as a Block.
6.双击可选中物体。 选中物体右键单击选择Edit可打开微波工作室编辑3D模型
7.更改喇叭尺寸使之与反射面更好的连接。
在NT下选中Horn Antenna_1,激活BPL
8.Modify the block parameters such as in the following screenshot:
9.Since we have just changed the geometry, the assembly model needs to be updated. Select Home: Edit 》Parametric Update
10.Still, there is no information about how to automatically align the two structures; they are positioned relative to the origin in the same way as they were in the original projects. To place them correctly, we need to transform the horn antenna manually.
We will introduce a parameter for the slant angle with which the antenna is aligned to the reflector dish. Switch to the Parameter List window and add a parameter slant_angle with the value of 45:
11.移动并旋转喇叭天线
选项的位置:
选中喇叭天线, Absolute Transform
12.创建3D-Model微波工作室仿真工程
小贴士: 当在全局设置的参考模型下拉框中选择一个块时,仿真项目将以其大部分模型设置与参考模型中定义的相同的方式生成。参考模型设置可以扩展或覆盖项目模板给出的潜在设置,允许进一步定制模型行为。You can click on Select… to choose which settings shall be considered. This option is very useful since in many cases it will save you a lot of configuration time.
Another important option is the Use reference block’s coordinate system checkbox.If activated, it ensures that the coordinate system of the new project is the same as the one used in the reference model. 所有其他结构元素都相对于这个坐标系导入。如果所使用的求解器对某些求解器特征的方向有一些限制,那么这一点是必要的。例如,我们选择的时域求解器要求所有波导端口垂直于全局坐标系排列。由于参考模型是这种情况,它的坐标系应该被保留,而所有其他的结构元素需要进行相应的转换。
单击确定,可以在微波工作室看到模型
13.边界条件设置
The only settings that need adjustment are the symmetry planes. Currently there are two symmetry planes: One in the YZ plane and one in the XZ plane. For the horn antenna these settings were correct, but for the assembled project the XZ plane is not a symmetry plane anymore.
14.开始仿真
