Converting AXIEM projects to Analyst projects in AWR.

To convert an AXIEM project to an Analyst 3D project:

1. Right-click the project name in the Project Browser and choose Set Simulator. In the Select a Simulator dialog box, choose Analyst 3D EM - Async.
2. By default, a boundary shape is drawn slightly larger than the geometry of the structure. Resize the boundary appropriately for your structure. You typically define the boundary size such that it is 10x the thickness of your dielectric, away from any conductors on the sides without wave ports. If you use wave ports, you must have the boundary touch the ports on those sides.
   
3. Ensure that the port types are correct. Analyst software simulation supports the same ports as AXIEM software except for implicitly grounded internal ports.
4. Right-click the project name in the Project Browser and choose Options. In the Options dialog box, on the Mesh and Analyst tabs, set the desired options. Typically, the defaults are sufficient.
