  Hi,
  
  I am having a trouble drawing an FSS on a reflector antenna in order to design a radome. So far I have:
  
  1- A planar 2D FSS pec
  
  2- A reflector made by rotating an equation based curve (I can also thicken it so it can act as the substrate for the FSS)
  
  I am having trouble in the final step where i want to project or wrap FSS on the inner part of the reflector. I tried Modeler >> sheet>wrap but it gives an error.
  
  Any help is appreciated

  Hi mahmoud,
  
  Sheet > Wrap only wraps around a solid body. Give your reflector some volume. Maybe give it finite thickness and that should work.

  Thank you Asamaiyar. I tried wrap but it did not work. Actually Project surface worked (but i have to vary the thickness+number of segments sometimes it gives weird results)
