`AnisotropicDielectricCollection`

A collection of anisotropic dielectric media.

Example

application = cf.Application.getInstance()
project = application:NewProject()

    -- Define media to be used in 3D anisotropic definition

dielUU = project.Definitions.Media.Dielectric:AddDielectric()
dielUV = project.Definitions.Media.Dielectric:AddDielectric()
dielUN = project.Definitions.Media.Dielectric:AddDielectric()
dielVU = project.Definitions.Media.Dielectric:AddDielectric()
dielVV = project.Definitions.Media.Dielectric:AddDielectric()
dielVN = project.Definitions.Media.Dielectric:AddDielectric()
dielNU = project.Definitions.Media.Dielectric:AddDielectric()
dielNV = project.Definitions.Media.Dielectric:AddDielectric()
dielNN = project.Definitions.Media.Dielectric:AddDielectric()

    -- Create an anisotropic 3D medium

properties = cf.AnisotropicDielectric.GetDefaultProperties()
properties.MassDensity = "1000.0"
properties.FullTensor[1][1] = dielUU
properties.FullTensor[1][2] = dielUV
properties.FullTensor[1][3] = dielUN
properties.FullTensor[2][1] = dielVU
properties.FullTensor[2][2] = dielVV
properties.FullTensor[2][3] = dielVN
properties.FullTensor[3][1] = dielNU
properties.FullTensor[3][2] = dielNV
properties.FullTensor[3][3] = dielNN
properties.TensorDescription = cf.Enums.TensorDescriptionMethodEnum.FullTensor
AnisotropicDielectric = project.Definitions.Media.AnisotropicDielectric:AddAnisotropicDielectric(properties)

Inheritance

The AnisotropicDielectricCollection object is derived from the Object object.

Usage locations

Collection lists
- Media object has collection AnisotropicDielectric.

Property List

Count: The number of AnisotropicDielectric items in the collection. (Read only number)

Type: The object type string. (Read only string)

Method List

AddAnisotropicDielectric (properties table): Create a 3D anisotropic medium from a table defining the properties. (Returns a AnisotropicDielectric object.)
AddAnisotropicDielectric (mediumuu Dielectric, mediumvv Dielectric, mediumnn Dielectric): Create a 3D anisotropic medium. (Returns a AnisotropicDielectric object.)
Delete (): Deletes the entity.

Duplicate (): Duplicates the entity. (Returns a Object object.)
GetProperties (): Returns a table of properties representing the state of the object. The properties table can be used with the SetProperties method to change multiple properties of the object in one step. (Returns a table object.)
Item (index number): Returns the AnisotropicDielectric for the given index in the collection. (Returns a AnisotropicDielectric object.)
Item (label string): Returns the AnisotropicDielectric for the given label in the collection. (Returns a AnisotropicDielectric object.)
Items (): Returns a table of AnisotropicDielectric items. (Returns a UnsupportedType(List of AnisotropicDielectric) object.)
SetProperties (properties Object): Modifies the state of the object using the provided table of properties. This method is used to modify multiple properties of the object in a single step.

Static Function List

GetDefaultProperties (): Creates a table containing the default settings to create an object. (Returns a table object.)
