# PointDipole

Uniform current source with a zero size.

# Name

name: Optional name for the source.

# Center

center: Center of object in x, y, and z.

Type: floating-point number

  • Unit: μm
  • Default: (0, 0, 0)

# Size

size: Size in x, y, and z directions.

  • Ey
  • Ez
  • Hx
  • Hy
  • Hz

Required field

# Interpolation

interpolate: Handles reverse-interpolation of zero-size dimensions of the source. If False, the source data is snapped to the nearest Yee grid point. If True, equivalent source data is applied on the surrounding Yee grid points to emulate placement at the specified location using linear interpolation.

Options:

  • False
  • True (default)

Required field
