FarFieldOptimisationGoal

A far field optimisation goal.

Example

application = cf.Application.getInstance()
project = application:Load({FEKO_HOME..[[/shared/Resources/Automation/Horn_error_estimates.cfx]]})
farField = project.Contents.SolutionConfigurations[1].FarFields[1]
search = project.Optimisation.Searches:Add(cf.Enums.OptimisationMethodTypeEnum.GridSearch)

    -- Create a far field optimisation goal with focus on the far field request

properties = cf.FarFieldOptimisationGoal.GetDefaultProperties()
properties.FocusSource = farField
properties.GoalOperator = cf.Enums.OptimisationGoalOperatorEnum.Maximise
properties.ProcessingSteps[1].Operation = cf.Enums.OptimisationGoalProcessingStepsEnum.Average
farFieldGoal = search.Goals:AddFarFieldGoal(properties)

    -- Set the polarisation type to Horizontal

properties = farFieldGoal:GetProperties()
properties.PolarisationType = cf.Enums.OptimisationFarFieldPolarisationTypeEnum.Horizontal
properties.ProcessingSteps[1].Operation = cf.Enums.OptimisationGoalProcessingStepsEnum.Real
farFieldGoal:SetProperties(properties)

Inheritance

The FarFieldOptimisationGoal object is derived from the OptimisationGoal object.

Usage locations

The FarFieldOptimisationGoal object can be accessed from the following locations:

Property List

FocusSource
Set the focus source to a specified source object. The intended usage is for when the source is defined in CADFEKO. (Read/Write FarField)
FocusSourceLabel
Set the source focus label. The intended usage is for when the source is defined only in EDITFEKO. (Read/Write string)
FocusType
Sets the focus type. (Read/Write OptimisationFarFieldFocusTypeEnum)
GoalOperator
The goal operator indicates the desired relationship between the goal focus and the objective. (Read/Write OptimisationGoalOperatorEnum)
Label
The object label. (Read/Write string)
Objective
The objective describes a state that the optimisation process should attempt to achieve. (Read only OptimisationGoalObjective)
PolarisationType
Sets the polarisation. (Read/Write OptimisationFarFieldPolarisationTypeEnum)
ProcessingSteps
A number of conversion steps or mathematical operations to be carried out on the goal focus before the goal is evaluated. (Read/Write OptimisationGoalProcessingStepsList)
Type
The object type string. (Read only string)
Weight
Specify the optimisation weight. (Read/Write ParametricExpression)

Method List

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.)
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.)
