  Hi there,
  I am highly interested in doing EM analysis of Rigid Flex PCB.
  I have defined the bending lines in Altium designer.
  Is there a simple workflow with Ansys hfss to import all pcb parameter including bending lines ?
  In page 4/10 of this white paper :https://resources.pcb.cadence.com/clarity/fast-and-simple-rigid-flex-pcb-bending-em-analysis-using-clarity-3d-solver-2
  they explain a simple workflow with .brd files from allegro and clarity3D solver.
  Is there something similar in Ansys ?
  I can export .brd and . Idf from Altium but I am not successful with the importation in Ansys.
  I can export into the ansys edb format from altium but I don't see any bending lines in HFSS 3D layout and I don't know how to do that.
  
  I am open to any suggestions.
  
  Thanks,
