Dielectric

A dielectric medium.

Example

app = cf.GetApplication()
project = app:NewProject()

    -- Create a dielectric medium
    
dielectric = project.Media:AddDielectric(2.16, 0.001, 1000)

    -- Change the colour to Cyan

dielectric.Colour = "#00FFFF"

Inheritance

The Dielectric object is derived from the Medium object.

Property List

Colour
The medium colour. (Read/Write Colour)
DielectricModelling
The medium dielectric modelling properties. (Read only DielectricModelling)
Filename
The file describing the medium properties in XML format. (Read/Write string)
Label
The object label. (Read/Write string)
MagneticModelling
The medium magnetic modelling properties. (Read only MagneticModelling)
MassDensity
Medium's mass density (kg/m^3). (Read/Write Expression)
SourceDefinitionMethod
Specifies the method used for defining the medium. (Read/Write MediumSourceDefinitionMethodEnum)
Suspect
Indicates whether the medium is suspect. (Read only boolean)
Type
The object type string. (Read only string)

Method List

AddToLibrary ()
Add the medium to the media library.
Delete ()
Delete the medium.
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.)
SetNotSuspect ()
Reset the suspect setting on the medium.
SetProperties (properties table)
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.)
