Problems in the Microwave Office Interface when using version 7.05 of AWR's Microwave Office

Below is a list of known defects in the Microwave Office interface when using Microwave Office version 7.05. These are not Sonnet bugs and AWR is working to resolve these issues in their next release.

If you have a conductivity and thickness set in Sonnet, metal thickness is set to 1nm when translating from Sonnet to the Microwave Office environment. You should correct these values after translating the circuit. Fixed in Sonnet 11.54 and AWR Microwave Office 7.52.
You cannot apply conformal meshing to an EM structure that is part of an EM Extraction from the schematic; the conformal mesh is not translated to Sonnet. Fixed in Sonnet 11.54.
To accurately model the loss in vias, the box top, and box bottom, you should use the Impedance definition in Microwave Office for lossy metals since the Thickness of the Conductor definition is not translated properly.
If you encounter a database unit error after sending a structure to Sonnet, set you database unit to a very small value such as .0001, then re-send the structure. This prevents the loss of any ports in the translation.
Microwave Office requires that dielectric materials must have unique names if their dielectric properties are different. Sonnet does not require this since dielectric materials are associated with a specific layer. Therefore, when editing a structure in the Sonnet environment, it is important to assign a unique name for each dielectric no matter what layer it is associated with. Fixed in AWR Microwave Office 7.52.
