SourceVoltageVertex

Voltage on a vertex excitation results generated by the Feko Solver.

Example

app = pf.GetApplication()
app:NewProject()
app:OpenFile(FEKO_HOME..[[/shared/Resources/Automation/MoM_PO_Misc_Example.fek]])

    -- Get the voltage vertex source and its label, configuration and type

voltageVertexSource = app.Models[1].Configurations[1].Excitations[5]

configurationName = voltageVertexSource.Configuration
sourceLabel = voltageVertexSource.Label
sourceType = voltageVertexSource.Type

    -- Get the DataSet for the source
    
sourceDataSet = voltageVertexSource:GetDataSet()

    -- Export the data for the source
    
voltageVertexSource:ExportData([[temp_Export]], pf.Enums.FrequencyUnitEnum.GHz,
    pf.Enums.NetworkParameterTypeEnum.Impedance, pf.Enums.NetworkParameterFormatEnum.RI, 50, 2)

Inheritance

The SourceVoltageVertex object is derived from the ExcitationData object.

graph2 = app.CartesianGraphs:Add()

-- Get the excitation result from the collection of source results of
-- the solution configuration
excitation = app.Models[1].Configurations[1].Excitations[1]

local fileName = "temp_excitation"
-- Export the excitation data to the current working directory
