AnisotropicDielectricCollection

A collection of anisotropic dielectric media.

Example

application = cf.Application.GetInstance()
project = application:NewProject()

    -- Define media to be used in 3D anisotropic definition

dielUU = project.Definitions.Media.Dielectric:AddDielectric()
dielUV = project.Definitions.Media.Dielectric:AddDielectric()
dielUN = project.Definitions.Media.Dielectric:AddDielectric()
dielVU = project.Definitions.Media.Dielectric:AddDielectric()
dielVV = project.Definitions.Media.Dielectric:AddDielectric()
dielVN = project.Definitions.Media.Dielectric:AddDielectric()
dielNU = project.Definitions.Media.Dielectric:AddDielectric()
dielNV = project.Definitions.Media.Dielectric:AddDielectric()
dielNN = project.Definitions.Media.Dielectric:AddDielectric()

    -- Create an anisotropic 3D medium

properties = cf.AnisotropicDielectric.GetDefaultProperties()
properties.MassDensity = "1000.0"
properties.FullTensor[1][1] = dielUU
properties.FullTensor[1][2] = dielUV
properties.FullTensor[1][3] = dielUN
properties.FullTensor[2][1] = dielVU
properties.FullTensor[2][2] = dielVV
properties.FullTensor[2][3] = dielVN
properties.FullTensor[3][1] = dielNU
properties.FullTensor[3][2] = dielNV
properties.FullTensor[3][3] = dielNN
properties.TensorDescription = cf.Enums.TensorDescriptionMethodEnum.FullTensor
AnisotropicDielectric = project.Definitions.Media.AnisotropicDielectric:AddAnisotropicDielectric(properties)

Inheritance

The AnisotropicDielectricCollection object is derived from the Object object.

Usage locations

The AnisotropicDielectricCollection object can be accessed from the following locations:

Property List

Count
The number of AnisotropicDielectric items in the collection. (Read only number)
Label
The object label. (Read/Write string)
Type
The object type string. (Read only string)

Method List

AddAnisotropicDielectric (properties table)
Create a 3D anisotropic medium from a table defining the properties. (Returns a AnisotropicDielectric object.)
AddAnisotropicDielectric (mediumuu Dielectric, mediumvv Dielectric, mediumnn Dielectric)
Create a 3D anisotropic medium. (Returns a AnisotropicDielectric object.)
Contains (label string)
Checks if the collection contains an item with the given label. (Returns a boolean object.)
Delete ()
Deletes the entity.
Duplicate ()
Duplicates the entity. (Returns a Object object.)
GetProperties ()
Returns a table of properties representing the state of the object. The properties table can be used with the SetProperties method to change multiple properties of the object in one step. (Returns a table object.)
Item (index number)
Returns the AnisotropicDielectric for the given index in the collection. (Returns a AnisotropicDielectric object.)
Item (label string)
Returns the AnisotropicDielectric for the given label in the collection. (Returns a AnisotropicDielectric object.)
Items ()
Returns a table of AnisotropicDielectric items. (Returns a UnsupportedType(List of AnisotropicDielectric) object.)
SetProperties (properties Object)
Modifies the state of the object using the provided table of properties. This method is used to modify multiple properties of the object in a single step.
UniqueName (label string)
Generates a unique name base of the provided base name. If the base name already exists in the collection, a digit will be appended until a valid name is generated. (Returns a string object.)

Static Function List

GetDefaultProperties ()
Creates a table containing the default settings to create an object. (Returns a table object.)
