Dielectric
A dielectric medium.
Example
application = cf.Application.getInstance() project = application:NewProject() -- Create a dielectric medium dielectric = project.Definitions.Media.Dielectric:AddDielectric(2.16, 0.001, 1000) -- Change the colour to Cyan dielectric.Colour = "#00FFFF"
Inheritance
The Dielectric object is derived from the Medium object.
The following objects are derived (specialisations) from the Dielectric object:
Usage locations
The Dielectric object can be accessed from the following locations:
- Properties
- AnisotropicDielectricLayers object has property OrthogonalMedium.
- AnisotropicDielectricLayers object has property PrincipleMedium.
- IsotropicDielectricLayers object has property Medium.
- CoaxialInsulationLayer object has property Medium.
- PlanarSubstrate object has property Medium.
- Methods
- DielectricCollection collection has method AddDielectric(table).
- DielectricCollection collection has method AddDielectric(Expression, Expression, Expression).
- DielectricCollection collection has method AddDielectric().
Property List
- Colour
- The medium colour. (Read/Write string)
- DielectricModelling
- The medium dielectric modelling properties. (Read/Write DielectricModelling)
- Filename
- The file describing the medium properties in XML format. (Read/Write FileReference)
- Label
- The object label. (Read/Write string)
- MagneticModelling
- The medium magnetic modelling properties. (Read/Write MagneticModelling)
- MassDensity
- Medium's mass density (kg/m^3). (Read/Write ParametricExpression)
- SourceDefinitionMethod
- Specifies the method used for defining the medium. (Read/Write MediumSourceDefinitionMethodEnum)
- Type
- The object type string. (Read only string)
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.)
