ArrayI have received this feedback. In short that is the way HFSS works. DDM allows the whole problem to be divided after an initial mesh is created that is why we see meshing on only 1 compute node. After meshing is completed HFSS now knows where to divide the objects for further analysis and solve. Very very top level the objects are divided where mesh is minimal. The objects are not divided by geometry parts but electrically through the mesh. The mesh is generated by determination of the Electric field so this initial mesh in necessary on one node before it can be split.nnPlease let me know if this helps to explain the difference.nnThanksnMattn
