DielectricShape Block

DielectricShape:

Works with VSimEM license.

This block is required when using a multiDielectricUpdater. The block sets the permittivity to a specified GridBoundary.

DielectricShape Parameters

gridBoundary (required string)

The name of the GridBoundary to which to set the permittivity to.

relPermittivity (optional float, default = 1.0)

The value of the permittivity within the specified gridBoundary.

isFlipped (optional int, default = true)

Whether the gridBoundary interior is flipped.

DielectricShape Example

<FieldUpdater setInvEps>
  kind = multiDielectricUpdater
  lowerBounds = [0  0  0]
  upperBounds = [46  51  51]
  permittivityField = invEps

  <DielectricShape cylinder0Unionsphere0Shape>
    gridBoundary = cylinder0Unionsphere0
    relPermittivity = 9.9
  </DielectricShape>

  <DielectricShape cube0Minuscylinder00Shape>
    gridBoundary = cube0Minuscylinder00
    relPermittivity = 9.0
  </DielectricShape>

  backgroundPermittivity = 1.0
</FieldUpdater>
