	The quest for a high accelerating gradient in superconducting radio frequency cavity attracted scientists to adopt the plasma cleaning technology. Generating an efficient plasma inside a complex cavity structure for a desired frequency, gas types, and pressure for a given temperature is a challenge. The onset of discharge can be obtained from the well-known Paschen curve. Setting up an experiment is expensive and time-consuming, which may lead to a significant delay in the project. A high-fidelity computer simulation, modeling an arbitrary geometry and tracking the Paschen curve in a complex electromagnetic environment is therefore necessary. Ansys HFSS through its Finite Element Mesh (FEM) for the full-wave EM simulations combined with the electron impact ionization of gases enables the successful prediction of plasma breakdown for an arbitrary configuration for a wide frequency band and variety of gases. A comprehensive study will be demonstrated at the conference. The author like to thank Robert Chao for the valuable discussions and his efforts in developing this capability in the Ansys Electronics Desktop.
