LT Card

This card assigns a resistor, inductor or capacitor in series to a voxel mesh for the finite difference time domain (FDTD) method.

On the Source/Load tab, in the Loads / networks group, click the  Load icon. From the drop-down list, click the  Port load (LT) icon.



Figure 1. The LT - Generic load on a port dialog.

Parameters:

Define/replace a load at the given port
Define a load or replace a load at the given port with the parameters specified below.
Remove all LT type loads previously defined
This LT card does not define a load, but rather all previously defined LT loads are deleted. All the other input parameters of this card are ignored.
Load name
The name of the load.
Name of port definition
The name of the port.
Discrete element
A single resistor, inductor or capacitor is added to the port.
Resistor
Value of the resistor in Ω .
Inductor
Value of the inductor in H.
Capacitor
Value of the capacitor in F.
Complex impedance
The real and imaginary part of the complex impedance in Ω .
Series circuit
The resistor value in Ω , inductor value in Henry and the capacitor value in Farad to be added as a series circuit.
Parallel circuit
The resistor value in Ω , inductor value in Henry and the capacitor value in Farad to be added as a parallel circuit.
Resistor value (Ohm)
Value of the resistor in Ω .
