Grids

The Grid is the computational domain of the simulation. It can be 1D, 2D or 3D, and if working with a 2D electrostatic simulation, cylindrical coordinates are available in addition to cartesian.

Only objects that are inside of the grid will be simulated, those outside are ignored.

The grid is uniformly discretized based on the number of cells specified for the respective axial direction.

kind (not editable)
The kind of grid used
xMin
The domain extent in the negative x-direction.
xMax
The domain extent in the positive x-direction.
yMin
The domain extent in the negative y-direction.
yMax
The domain extent in the positive y-direction.
zMin
The domain extent in the negative z-direction.
zMax
The domain extent in the positive z-direction.
xCells
The number of cells in the x-direction.
yCells
The number of cells in the y-direction.
zCells
The number of cells in the z-direction.

Note

The grid, or grid faces should never be deleted from the simulation. If they are it will be necessary to recreate the simulation file
