• Uncheck the 'Enable volume meshing' option. For the power bus problem, the MOM analysis will be accurate.

• How can we model the powerbus model?
  
  Actually, there are two methods to create this double-sided PCB.
  
  1) Create the dielectric substrate by defining a rectangular block and assign a dielectric medium to it. Then, assign the PEC attribute to its top and bottom faces.
  2) Create the substrate block and assign a dielectric medium to it. Draw two polygons (rectangles). One touches the top face of the dielectric solid and another touches the bottom face. They are perfect conductors by default.
  
  The first method is the most straightforward way of doing this. The problem with the second method is that when you make a union of a dielectric block and a PEC surface that coincides with a face of the dielectric, the face may be "absorbed" into the dielectric and lose its PEC property. Thus you would have to reassign the PEC property to the face. Therefore it is recommended to use the first method.
• Can a feed be located at the edge of the plane surface?
  
  In FEKO, voltage sources are not applied directly to the model geometry or mesh. A port must be defined on the geometry or mesh before adding the required source or load. In this example, the voltage source is located at one edge of the PCB. However, in FEKO, the edge for a port is not allowed to be on the surface of the dielectric.
