Example 1: Analysis of a Cell with Disk Geometry

Step 1: Start newFASANT.

Step 2: Select File and click on New.

Step 3: Select Periodical Structures.

Step 4: Select Centimeters units.

Step 5: Click on "Cell → FSS Primitive → Disk", which requires the center and the radius, as shown in the next figure.

In this example the user enters the following values:

• Center 0 0 0
• Radius 0.5

Step 6:. Click on "Geometry → Point → Single point", which requires the x,y and z coordinates as shown in the next figure.

In this example the user enters the following values into the command line:

• Select point on screen [x y z] 0 0 0.5

Step 7: Click on "Cell → Define cell". Assign the material of the layer.

Step 8: Click on "Simulation → Parameters". Configure the simulation with this parameters:

• Units: GHz
• Initial frequency: 10
• Final frequency: 16
• Samples: 4
• Planewave Definition: Symmetric

Step 9: Before running the case, select "Meshing → Create Mesh".

Configure the meshing with this parameters:

• Planar surfaces: 40
• Curved surfaces: 40
• Mesh mode: Frequency, 16.0 GHz
• Processors: (Processors available)

Click on "Mesh" button launch the meshing engine as shown in the next figure:

Step 10: Select "Calculate → Execute" and select the number of processors available.

Step 11: When the simulation finishes we can visualize the simulation results. Click on "Show Results → View Cuts By Frequency".

Step 12: To view text file results, click on "Show Results → View Text Files".
