AnisotropicDielectric

A 3D anisotropic medium.

Example

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

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

dielectric1 = project.Definitions.Media.Dielectric:AddDielectric()
dielectric2 = project.Definitions.Media.Dielectric:AddDielectric()
dielectric3 = project.Definitions.Media.Dielectric:AddDielectric()
dielectric4 = project.Definitions.Media.Dielectric:AddDielectric()
dielectric5 = project.Definitions.Media.Dielectric:AddDielectric()
dielectric6 = project.Definitions.Media.Dielectric:AddDielectric()
dielectric7 = project.Definitions.Media.Dielectric:AddDielectric()
dielectric8 = project.Definitions.Media.Dielectric:AddDielectric()
dielectric9 = project.Definitions.Media.Dielectric:AddDielectric()

    -- Create an anisotropic 3D medium

properties = cf.AnisotropicDielectric.GetDefaultProperties()
properties.MassDensity = "1000.0"
properties.TensorDescription = cf.Enums.TensorDescriptionMethodEnum.FullTensor
properties.FullTensor[1][1] = dielectric1
properties.FullTensor[1][2] = dielectric2
properties.FullTensor[1][3] = dielectric3
properties.FullTensor[2][1] = dielectric4
properties.FullTensor[2][2] = dielectric5
properties.FullTensor[2][3] = dielectric6
properties.FullTensor[3][1] = dielectric7
properties.FullTensor[3][2] = dielectric8
properties.FullTensor[3][3] = dielectric9
anisotropicDielectric1 = application.Project.Definitions.Media.AnisotropicDielectric:AddAnisotropicDielectric(properties)

-- Change the colour to Cyan

anisotropicDielectric1.Colour = "#00FFFF"

Inheritance

The AnisotropicDielectric object is derived from the Medium object.

Usage locations

The AnisotropicDielectric object can be accessed from the following locations:

Property List

Colour
The medium colour. (Read/Write string)
ComplexTensor
Defines the complex permittivity and permeability tensors. (Read/Write ComplexTensor)
DiagonalTensor
Defines the media of the diagonal tensor definition. (Read/Write ObjectReferenceTable)
FullTensor
Defines the media of the full tensor definition. (Read/Write ObjectReferenceTable)
Label
The object label. (Read/Write string)
MassDensity
Medium's mass density (kg/m^3). (Read/Write ParametricExpression)
PolderTensor
Defines the parameters used to create a Polder tensor. (Read/Write PolderTensor)
TensorDescription
Sets the form of the tensor that defines the 3D anisotropic medium. (Read/Write TensorDescriptionMethodEnum)
Type

Method List

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.)
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.

Static Function List

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