`FEMDistributedLinePort`

A FEM distributed line port is used to define the location of an impressed current source and load in the FEM region.

Example

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

corner = cf.Point(-0.25, -0.25, 0)
cube = project.Contents.Geometry:AddCuboid(corner, 0.5, 0.5, 1.25)

dielectric = project.Definitions.Media.Dielectric:AddDielectric()
project.Contents.Geometry[1].Regions[1].Medium = dielectric
project.Contents.Geometry[1].Regions[1].SolutionMethod = cf.Enums.RegionSolutionMethodEnum.FEM

    --  Add a 'FEMDistributedLinePort' to the edge of the cuboid

port = project.Contents.Ports:AddFEMDistributedLinePortBetweenEdges({cube.Edges[1]}, {cube.Edges[3]})
port.NumberOfPortLines = 5
