  • Radius of the dipoles: radius_dipoles.
  • Minimum length of dipoles: min_dipoles.
  • Maximum length of dipole:s max_dipoles.

Example

First, a geometry is created in order to specify the shape of the chaff cloud:
> cone -c
Select center [x y z] 0 0 0
Bottom radius [double] 1
Height [double] 2.5
Top radius [double] 0
>
