Advanced Options

In this submenu, the user can access the options explained below:

  • Specify EFIE: this option is only taken into account when the Electromagnetic Equation of CFIE is selected on the Solver Parameters menu.

    It is recommended when the geometry contains open and closed entities, because only the closed objects may be analyzed with the CFIE formulation, and the open ones are analyzed with the EFIE formulation.

    This option opens a table list with all the names of the objects that are going to be analyzed with EFIE. Selecting the objects on the geometry panel and clicking on Add button, the object names are added to the Objects with EFIE list. Use the Remove button to delete objects from the list.

Specify Divisions

using this option, the user can force the sampling density to be applied to any object, which will be used in the meshing process. It is recommended when the most of the geometry may be meshed with the same density - which will be set in the meshing configuration -, but some regions of the geometry require different meshing resolutions.

This option opens a table list with all the names of the objects that are going to be meshed with a different number of divisions than the meshing configuration together with the value of its divisions. Selecting the objects on the geometry panel and clicking on Add button, the object names will be added to the Objects with divisions list and then the number of divisions for it may be edited. To edit the number of divisions of a given object, select its row, introduce the desired number of divisions in the field left to the Fill value to selection button, and then click on the button. Use the Remove button to delete objects from the divisions' table.

Surfaces to not duplicate

this option is only taken into account when the Replicate Open Surfaces of Surfaces Replication is selected on the Meshing Advanced Parameters menu (see Meshing Menu). It may be useful to analyze open objects as volumes that are automatically approximated by two parallel thin layers, and then apply the CFIE formulation on them. Using this option, the user can select which objects are analyzed only with their normal vectors orientation, so they are not going to be duplicated.

Selecting the objects on the geometry panel and clicking on Add button, the object names will be added to the list of object which will be not duplicated. Use the Remove button to delete objects from the table.
