Description |
A boundary condition that includes support for Perfect E, Perfect H, and lossy electric conductors. |
Simulator Applicability |
3D Driven Frequency (RF3p) 2D Eigenmode (OM2p) 3D Eigenmode (OM3p) |
Common Uses |
Perfect E is often used to as an alternative to high conductivity conductors since it is less computationally expensive. |

Parameters |
Label - A unique name that identifies the attribute. (IAttribute/Label) Color - Color used on objects to which this attribute is applied. (IAttribute/Color) Type - Type of impedance boundary condition. (IFDImpedance/Type)
Ignore Internal Application - If True, internal applications of this attribute are removed prior to the solve. (IFDImpedance/IgnoreInternalApplications) Electric Bulk Conductivity - [ELECTRIC_BULK_CONDUCTIVITY] – Conductivity of electric conductor. Only visible if type is User-defined Electric Bulk Conductivity. (IFDImpedance/Conductivity) Conductor Thickness - [LENGTH] - Thickness of conductor used in determining the corresponding loss. Only visible if type is User-defined Electric Bulk Conductivity. (IFDImpedance/Thickness) Conductor Surface Roughness (RMS) - [LENGTH] – Root-mean-square of the surface roughness. If this parameter is non-zero it increments the loss associated with the boundary condition according to a parametric model based upon measured data. This parameter value should be small as compared to the conductor thickness and the skin-depth. Only visible if type is User-defined Electric Bulk Conductivity. (IFDImpedance/Roughness) Resistivity - [SURFACE_ELECTRIC_RESISTIVITY] – Resistivity of electric conductor. Only visible if type is User-defined Surface Resistivity. (IFDImpedance/Resistivity) |
