ellipsoidalChaff

This command creates a new chaff of dipoles with ellipsoidal cloud shape. This command is only available when using the Chaff module.

Inline mode usage

ellipsoidalChaff -h
Displays the help file that summarizes the parameters for this command.
ellipsoidalChaff <center_x> <center_y> <center_z> <radius_x> <radius_y> <radius_z> <number_dipoles> <dipole_radius> <min_length> <max_length>
Creates a new ellipsoidal-shaped (with the given radius and center) dipole chaff, each one with a specified dipole radius and a length between the given limits.
