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
