WaveguidePort

A waveguide port is used to define a plane of excitation for a waveguide structure.

Example

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

    -- Create a hollow cuboid

corner = cf.Point(-0.25, -0.25, 0)
cube = project.Geometry:AddCuboid(corner, 0.5, 0.5, 1.25)
project.Geometry[1].Regions[1].Medium = project.Media:GetFreeSpace()

    -- Create a waveguide port on the cube

port = project.Ports:AddWaveguidePort(cube.Faces[1])

Inheritance

The WaveguidePort object is derived from the Port object.

Property List

DirectionReversed
The option to set the propagation direction opposite to the normal direction. (Read/Write boolean)
Face
The face to which the waveguide port is applied. (Read/Write Face)
Faulty
True if the port is faulty. (Read only boolean)
Label
The port label. (Read/Write string)
ManualReferenceVectorEnabled
The option to specify the reference direction manually. (Read/Write boolean)
MaxModalExpansionEnabled
The option to specify the maximum modal expansion indices manually. (Read/Write boolean)
MaxModalExpansionIndexM
The option to specify the maximum modal expansion index m manually. This is only valid if MaxModalExpansionEnabled is true. (Read/Write Expression)
MaxModalExpansionIndexN
The option to specify the maximum modal expansion index n manually. This is only valid if MaxModalExpansionEnabled is true. (Read/Write Expression)
ReferenceDirectionRotation
The reference direction rotation. This is only valid if ManualReferenceVectorEnabled is false. (Read/Write WaveguidePortReferenceDirectionRotationEnum)
ReferenceVector
The components for the reference vector. The reference vector must be set manually for property to take effect.This is only valid if ManualReferenceVectorEnabled is true. (Read/Write GlobalCoordinates)
Suspect
True if the port is suspect. (Read only boolean)
Terminal
The port terminal. (Read only Terminal)
Type
The object type string. (Read only string)
Visible
Specifies whether the port must be shown or hidden. (Read/Write boolean)

Method List

Delete ()
Delete the port.
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 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.)
