Creating an Anisotropic Medium (Complex Tensor)
Create an anisotropic medium by defining the permittivity tensor and permeability tensor using complex values.
-
On the Construct tab, in the Define group, click the Media icon. From the drop-down list, select the Anisotropic medium (3D) icon.
- In the Tensor type field, from the drop-down list select Complex tensor.
-
Click the Dielectric modelling
tab.
- Enter a complex value in the relevant entries.
-
Click the Magnetic modelling
tab.
- Enter a complex value in the relevant entries.
Important:- An entry in the tensor may be a complex number, pure real number or a pure imaginary number.
- An entry may not be 0.
- [Optional] In the Mass density (kg/m^3) field, enter a value for ρ.
- Click Create to create the anisotropic medium and close the dialog.
