Help with Rectifier Design and Simulation in Ansys Circuit (Nexxim) – Import, Harmonic Balance

Ciji

I’m working in Ansys Electronics Desktop 2024 R2. I’ve successfully designed and simulated an antenna in HFSS, and I’m now trying to integrate it with a rectifier circuit using Ansys Circuit (Nexxim). However, I’m facing a few challenges and couldn’t find clear documentation or tutorials for the following:

HSMS-282E Schottky Diode not in Library
I searched the component library in Nexxim but couldn’t find the HSMS-282E Schottky diode. Is there a standard library I might be missing?

How to Import HSMS-282E SPICE Model into Ansys Circuit
I have the SPICE model (.lib) for the HSMS-282E diode. What are the exact steps to properly import and use it in my Nexxim schematic?

Performing Harmonic Balance Simulation for RF-to-DC Conversion
I want to run a harmonic balance simulation to evaluate the rectifier's power conversion efficiency (PCE). Can someone provide a step-by-step procedure or example setup?

Measuring DC Output Across Load
What’s the recommended method to view the DC output voltage and current across the load in a harmonic balance simulation?

If anyone has documentation, example projects, or tutorial links related to these topics, I’d really appreciate your help!

Thanks in advance!

Hello @Ciji thanks for your question, although it seems like it might not be a programming or scripting question. Are you interested in using PyAEDT or otherwise? If not then you will be better suited to ask this question in the Ansys Learning Forum as we can only tackle programming and scripting questions here.

Hello! Thanks for the clarification 😊
You're right, my question wasn't directly related to scripting or PyAEDT. I’ll move this query to the Ansys Learning Forum as suggested. Appreciate your help!
