Creating an Anisotropic Layered Dielectric (2D)

Create an anisotropic layered dielectric.

  1. On the Construct tab, in the Define group, click the  Media icon. From the drop-down list, select  Anisotropic Layered Dielectric (2D) icon.
  2. In the Label field, enter a unique label for the dielectric.
    Figure 1. The Create Layered Dielectric (Anisotropic) dialog.


  3. In the Thickness field, enter a value for the layer thickness.
  4. In the Principal direction (deg) field, enter the angle of the principal direction.
  5. In the Material in principal direction field, select one of the following:
    • To add a dielectric layer in the principal direction, consisting of a predefined dielectric, select the dielectric.
    • To add a dielectric layer in the principal direction consisting of a dielectric, which is not yet defined in the model, click the icon to define the dielectric or add a dielectric from the media library.
  6. In the Material in orthogonal direction field, select one of the following:
    • To add a dielectric layer in the orthogonal direction consisting of a predefined dielectric, select the dielectric.
    • To add a dielectric layer in the orthogonal direction consisting of a field, which is not yet defined in the model, click the icon to define the dielectric or add a dielectric from the media library.
  7. [Optional] To add an additional layer, click Add.
  8. [Optional] To remove a layer, click Remove.
