Fully automated Python- and MATLAB-HFSS interfaces without VBA scripts for advanced design techniques

Two fully automated Python- and MATLAB-HFSS interfaces without VBA scripts are presented. They are automated since to run they require only the HFSS file describing the model and either the Python or MATLAB scripts of the APIs. All the auxiliary files are generated directly by the APIs. As an example, the findings are applied to the design of the external quality factor in microwave cavity filters.
