Cylindrical Shell

From openEMS

Description

A cylindrical shell is created by the command:

CSX = AddCylindricalShell(CSX, propName, prio, start, stop, rad, shell_width, varargin)

with the following parameters:

• CSX: default first argument, containing the CSXCAD data structure
• propName: name of the (previously defined) property (e.g. a metal or material)
• start, stop: [x y z] coordinates of the start and end points of the cylinder central axis
• rad: radius of the cylinder
• shell_width: width of the cylinder shell
• varargin: a key/value list of primitives variable arguments

Note:

• The inner radius of this shell is: rad – shell_width/2
• The outer radius of this shell is: rad + shell_width/2

Example

• Create a cylindrical shell with radius 30 drawing unit and shell thickness of 5 drawing unit .

CSX=AddMaterial(CSX,'plexi_shield');
CSX=SetMaterialProperty(CSX,'plexi_shield','Epsilon',2.22);
start=[0 0 -40 ];
stop=[0 0 40 ];
CSX=AddCylindricalShell(CSX,'plexi_shield',5,start,stop,30,5);
