# UniformCurrentSource

Source in a rectangular volume with uniform time dependence.

# Name

name: Optional name for the source.

# Source Region

Specification of the source region.

# Center + size

Object definition through a center position and size.

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

Type: floating-point number

  • Unit: m, μm (default), or nm
  • Default: (0, 0, 0)

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

Use Infinity to define a geometry extending to infinity in both directions along an axis.

Type: floating-point number

  • Unit: m, μm (default), or nm
  • Constraint: greater than or equal to 0
  • Required field

# Bounds

Object definition through minimum and maximum coordinate bounds.

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

Type: floating-point number

  • Unit: m, μm (default), or nm
  • Required field

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

Type: floating-point number

  • Unit: m, μm (default), or nm
  • Required field

# Polarization

polarization: Specifies the direction and type of current component.

Options:

  • Ex
  • 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

# Source Time

source_time: Specification of the source time-dependence.

Options:
