    Hi @bryn, I'm meshing an implanted device as a faceted mesh which is then embedded in an octree mesh. This is all through the Python API.

    This screen capture shows how you can then move/snap the "Spline Control Points" (the little white dots) to the offset surface: https://youtu.be/kveLjnKpWzU

    Thanks for your reply. actually i have solved the problem. the problem was that inspite of what the documentation said, I have been selected the wrong study (ohmic quasi stat) under the unstructured EM LF Electro, while i needed to select the EM LF Electro, which could be exert on the structured problems.

    The first method might not be working if your spline doesn't have a parametrization. If you click on the spline in the Model tree and don't see a list of points in the Controller window, then the information is no longer available and you'll have to stick to the second method.

    Hello, Sorry I am facing an issue with moving antennas to different locations based on the steps above. I used three points on the skin and calculated the transformation between static and posed states. I used this transformation to transform the antenna position to the new position (using RigidTransform and ApplyTransform functions). However I get errors that the antenna source edge is within a solid. I have changed priorities during voxelling providing antennas higher priority but the errors still exist. What can I do? I would like to move antennas in a similar fashion to how soft tissues deform. Thanks Vignesh

    Hi, Thank you. I tried it but would like to plot the fields on a grid between antennas (as shown in red in the image). It is easy when the model is static but when posed, I am not able to get a grid at an angle. Thanks [image: 1710200782830-dd141418-49f3-4854-a083-853ccfa690dd-image.png]

    Then you can keep the substrate as it is and translate the edge source (polyline) along the microstrip line until it also touches the ground plane (keeping it always axis-aligned).

    @MSJ the modify button is probably hidden on the top right, if you click the triangle where you see the three dots (...).

    Yes, you cannot directly stretch a group. However, you can select multiple (non-group) entities and stretch them. The easiest is to press "Ctrl+A" (Select All), which will select all visible entities (excluding the groups), and then stretch those. You can also use the Python API. import XCoreMath import XCoreModeling Vec3 = XCoreModeling.Vec3 scaling0 = XCoreMath.Scaling(Vec3(2.0)) scaling1 = XCoreMath.Scaling(Vec3(1.2, 0.9, 2.0)) scaling2 = XCoreMath.Scaling(Vec3(1.2, 0.9, 2.0), origin=Vec3(120, 10, 34)) entities = XCoreModeling.GetActiveModel().SelectedEntities for e in entities: e.ApplyTransform(scaling0) the different scalings are uniform scaling non-uniform scaling non-uniform scaling wrt to the (non-zero) origin=(120, 10, 34) https://youtu.be/XCOM6uBFBRM

    Hi, How do you ensure they are in xy,yz or xz plane. Visually they are but I still face the error?

    Hi, I decreased the max step of the dielectric material in the coaxial cable, but still got the same warning. I have two questions: Is there are formula which can be used to determine the cross-section? How does the warning affect the result? Thanks

    Hi, I would like to power the two waveports with an input which is 180 degree phase apart between each other. The antennas are constructed in a differential manner to increase penetration. I am not sure how to provide the power input to the waveport guide Thanks

    Hi @bryn , thanks for looking into this. I can reproduce what you write. However, in my case it is a little different because I do press Enter and still it would not update. Unfortunately, I do not know how to reproduce this behaviour in a fresh project. I will hope that the solution to your bug will also fix the bug that I encounter, though. Thanks!
