Simulation Domain

Definition of the simulation domain center and size.

The RF GUI uses these values to define the center and size of the Simulation (opens new window).

Geometry

Center + Size

Object definition through a center position and size.

center: Center of the simulation domain in x, y, and z-directions.

• Type: three float numbers
• Unit: m, mm (default unit), um

size: Size of the simulation domain in x, y, and z-directions.

• Type: three float numbers
• Unit: m, mm (default unit), um
• Constraint: greater than 0

Bounds

Object definition through minimum and maximum coordinate bounds.

min: Values of the x, y, and z coordinates defining the lower corner of the simulation domain.

max: Values of the x, y, and z coordinates defining the upper corner of the simulation domain.

• Type: three float numbers
• Unit: m, mm (default unit), um

add_padding_based_on_wavelength: Toggle whether the GUI adds domain padding from the wavelength associated with the Global Settings frequency range.

• Options:
  • True: Add $\frac{\lambda_{center}}{2}$ to the simulation size.
  • False: Use the entered simulation domain size without global-frequency-based padding.
