I have a model (screenshot attached below), which has 2 cylindrical plates, and the lower plate has a waffle bowl cut out from it. This cutout bowl volume contains a lossy dielectric (water). I am running this simulation at 95 GHz. The goal is to obtain dielectric enhancement inside the water sample. The diameter of each plate is 21 mm, whereas the plate thickness is merely ~250 micron. A Gaussian 95 GHz beam impinges on the plates and there are PMLs all around the plates.

Hi Array,nPlease use the zoom function as shared below which will allow you to draw a rectangle area of your interest to zoom.nIf you want the mesh to be finer, you can select the object of your choice and go to Mesh folder in the Project Manager Window. Select Assign Mesh Operation and chose On selection or Inside selection feature. Be cautious that this may lead to more computation time because of dense mesh. You can also chose curvilinear meshing as your model has curved objects. Please go through the HFSS Help document on the topics Defining Mesh Operations and Meshing in HFSS.nn

Thanks for the output. I tried the rectangle zoom tool, but when I zoom into a rectangle it maintains the aspect ratio, so the zoom in rectangle tool is not helping me. I want to be able to violate the aspect ratio and stretch the disc in exactly one dimension, so that a thin disc looks like a deep barrel. Right now, when I try to zoom in the depth dimension, the radius dimension also gets zoomed, and the zoom in looks useless to me, because the disc doesn't look like a deep barrel. I want to keep the radial dimension tight and only zoom into the vertical depth dimension. I should be able to fit the entire width of the disc into my screen. nn

nI would recommend to zoom a small portion of the model so that whole depth is covered and the you can pan over radial direction to inspect the mesh. nGenerally zoom functions try to respect the aspect ratio of the model by uniformly magnifying the selected portions. nAll the very best.nBest Regards,n
