Description of the bug

When importing 3D parasolid objects and assigning materials, the "solve inside" option is not automatically changed based on material choice. Manually assigning materials in an HFSS workspace will set this flag but not when assigning materials with PyAEDT

Steps To Reproduce

A basic overview, syntax may not be correct. Just using the two commands to import a solid object and assign material.

modeler.import_3d_cad(mod.name) hfss.assign_material(mod.name, body_material)

mod.name is path/filename of solid model body_mateiral is material name from material library

Python version is 3.11.7 which is not available int he pull down menu under System Info

@SamtecChrisK We will try to reproduce the issue. However I would not use Python 3.11 because it is not tested, PyAEDT is tested from 3.7 to 3.10, so non-expected behavior could be found.

Hi Nitin – I agree that is how the software should work. I did test this with other materials like vacuum and plexiglass and the solve inside flag does set correctly. So now I am curious why the LCP materials we define set the flag correctly through the HFSS interface but they do not when using PyAEDT. Maybe the conductivity threshold for that decision is different??

Thanks for the reply

@SamtecChrisKhttps://github.com/SamtecChrisK @Samuelopez-ansyshttps://github.com/Samuelopez-ansys This is the default behavior of AEDT. When we import CAD components, it does not have any material assigned to it hence solve inside is off by default. Once we assign the material, solve inside is turned on automatically.

Hi @SamtecChrisK ,

Did you test it with the new PyAEDT version?

PyAEDT checks if the material is dielectric, and then it automatically sets the solve inside property.

If it does not work, it means the material you are using is not identified as dielectric.
