Mesh generation fails in HFSS – “Model has very thin thickness body”

  Hi,
  I am trying to simulate in HFSS a model with object of 54mm largest dimension and another object with smallest dimension (thickness) of 0.00026mm. While running the simulation, I am getting following errors:
  
      [warning] Model has very thin thickness body (9:13:43 AM Oct 10, 2018)
      [error] Surface Mesh Generation Failed. (9:13:43 AM Oct 10, 2018)
      [error] Simulation completed with execution error on server: Local Machine. (9:13:43 AM Oct 10, 2018)
  
  I am getting this error regardless of the machine I am running simulation on.
  
  Is there a way to solve this error? or any alternate way. I cannot remove the object with smallest dimension because it affects the simulation.
  
  Thanks!

  Hello rounaksingh,
  
  Had you found solution of your problem?

  Would you like to share your solution? It would be a great help.
  
  Many thanks.

  Try changing the units to lower like mm or um in the Modeler menu. It may work. One of my design worked by doing that.
