FarFieldData

A far field data using file structure import.

Example

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

    -- Import 'FarFieldData' from previously a exported 'FarField'

farFieldData = project.Definitions.FieldDataList:AddFarFieldDataUsingKnownFileFormat([[FarFieldData.ffe]])

Inheritance

The FarFieldData object is derived from the FieldData object.

Usage locations

The FarFieldData object can be accessed from the following locations:
