CharacteristicModeData

Characteristic mode results generated by the Feko Solver.

Example

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

    -- Retrieve the 'CharacteristicModeData' called 'CharacteristicModes1' from the 
    -- characteristic mode configuration

charMode = app.Models[1].Configurations["CharacteristicModeConfiguration1"].
	CharacteristicModes["CharacteristicModes1"]

    -- Manipulate the CharacteristicModes data. See 'DataSet' for faster and more comprehensive
    -- options
    
dataSet = charMode:GetDataSet()
print(dataSet) -- Describes the structure of the data
inspect(dataSet) -- Gives a list of the data set contents

    -- Find the frequency start and end values

frequencyAxis = dataSet.Axes["Frequency"]
frequencyStartValue = frequencyAxis:ValueAt(1)
frequencyEndValue = frequencyAxis:ValueAt(#frequencyAxis)

    -- Scale the characteristic mode eigen values

scale = 2
for freqIndex = 1, #dataSet.Axes["Frequency"] do
    for modeIndex = 1, #dataSet.Axes["Mode"] do
        indexedValue = dataSet[freqIndex][modeIndex]
        indexedValue.EigenValue = indexedValue.EigenValue * scale
    end
end

    -- Store the manipulated data 
    
scaledCharacteristicModes = dataSet:StoreData(pf.Enums.StoredDataTypeEnum.CharacteristicMode)

    -- Compare the original CharacteristicModes to the manipulated CharacteristicModes
    
graph = app.CartesianGraphs:Add()
CharacteristicModesTrace1 = graph.Traces:Add(charMode)
CharacteristicModesTrace1.IndependentAxis = "Frequency"
CharacteristicModesTrace1:SetFixedAxisValue("Mode index", 2, "")
CharacteristicModesTrace2 = graph.Traces:Add(scaledCharacteristicModes)
CharacteristicModesTrace2:SetFixedAxisValue("Mode index", 2, "")

Inheritance

The CharacteristicModeData object is derived from the ResultData object.

Usage locations

The CharacteristicModeData object can be accessed from the following locations:
