Exercise 1: Assign EM Material Properties to a Mesh for Feko
In this exercise you will assign EM material properties to a mesh.
- In HyperMesh, click and select the Feko profile.
- Create or sort the mesh elements into components. Each component should only have on type of mesh element.
- Create the required materials. You can create anisotropic dielectric media (with optional magnetic properties) and metallic media.
-
Create the required properties. A property maps materials onto an element type.
You can create:
- Triangle, which requires "Front medium," "Back medium," and an optional "Face medium" with thickness value required when the face is set to be a metallic material.
- Segment, with required materials for "Core medium" and "Surrounding medium." A "Radius" value must be supplied.
- Tetrahedron, which requires only a "Volume medium" material.
- Assign the properties to the components to map the material settings to the elements in each component.
- Export the mesh as an FHM file. An INC file with the same file name is created automatically.
- Import the FHM file into CADFEKO (or EDITFEKO). If an INC file with the same file name is available, it is imported automatically.
