How to Export HFSS Antenna Array Models to Perceive EM and RF Channel Modeler

In this video, you'll learn how to export an Ansys HFSS Finite Array and Antenna System Model for use in both the Ansys Perceived EM GPU-based solver and the RF Channel Modeler. This process allows you to create a multi-channel antenna model, ideal for base station simulations where communication with moving subscribers is needed. The video walks you through the key steps, including exporting the model metadata, configuring element patterns, and importing the model into the RF Channel Modeler. By the end of the tutorial, you'll know how to integrate your phased array system into a complex wireless environment for advanced simulations.
This demonstration is essential for engineers and RF designers looking to enhance their antenna array modeling and wireless communication analysis capabilities.
