Applying a Metal to a Face
Apply a metal to a face bordering a free space or dielectric region.

Properties tab.
Figure 1. The Modify Face dialog (Properties tab).
- In the Medium drop-down list, select the metal that you want to apply to the face.
- [Optional] Select the Apply thickness check box to specify a thickness. If the thickness is specified, it will be considered in the solution. If no thickness is specified, the solution will assume that the face is sufficiently thick for the high-frequency skin effect approximation to be valid for the frequencies of interest.
-
Click OK to apply the metallic medium and to close
the dialog.
Note: Closed regions containing metallic faces cannot be set to (solid) PEC.
