## B.6. ANSYS Electronics Desktop File (ElectronicsDesktop)

Base Type: `CAE Model File`

File Extensions: .aedt

Properties:

This type of file can contain multiple "Material (AedtMaterial)" types and any number of design models.

A Material (AedtMaterial) has the following property:

- Frequency Dependent (FrequencyDependent)

Design models can be the following types:

- HFSS Design (AedtHFSSDesign)

- Simplorer Design (AedtSimplorerDesign)

- Maxwell 2D Design (AedtMaxwell2DDesign)

- Maxwell 3D Design (AedtMaxwell3DDesign)

- Q3D Extractor Design (AedtQ3DExtractorDesign)

- 2D Extractor Design (Aedt2DExtractorDesign)

- RMxprt Design (AedtRMxprtDesign)

- HFSS-IE Design (AedtHFSSIEDesign)

- HFSS 3D Layout Design (AedtHFSS3DLayoutDesignDesign)

- Circuit Design (AedtCircuitDesignDesign)

Each design model can have a number of child models. For example, the AedtHfssDesign model can have AedtHfssAnalysis models, which can have AedtHFSSAnalysisSetup models. Each AedtHFSSAnalysisSetup can have AedtHFSSFrequencySweep models.

The properties of each design model type and child model type are described in the sections that follow.
