Syed,

I use XFX to model the cross hatch also. However I realize that the meshed
ground defined in the XFX is only good for rectangle.
It is quite limited. I asked viewlogic's FAE about diamind or circular
shapes but got not answer.

How do you deal with this problem with XFX ? Is XFX accurate enough for
hatch ground?

Hello,

If you are using XFX(2-D from Quad), you can model the cross hatch using
MESHED_GROUND. For example:

MESHED_GROUND HORIZ_PLANE y: 27.80 29.20 P_X: 15.0 A_X: 10.0 P_Z: 15.0 A_Z:
10.0
MESHED_GROUND HORIZ_PLANE y: 0.000 1.400 P_X: 15.0 A_X: 10.0 P_Z: 15.0 A_Z:
10.0

Impedance becomes a function of your cross hatch geometry plus more..

We have done this sort of study.
Regards,
Syed.
