Dielectric object

Dielectric(...)

This method creates a Dielectric object.

Path

materialApi.materials()[name].Dielectric

Prototype

odb_Dielectric&
Dielectric(const odb_SequenceSequenceDouble& table,
           const odb_String& type,
           bool frequencyDependency,
           bool temperatureDependency,
           int dependencies);

Required arguments

table: An odb_SequenceSequenceDouble specifying the items described below.

Optional arguments

type: An odb_String specifying the dielectric behavior. Possible values are "ISOTROPIC", "ORTHOTROPIC", and "ANISOTROPIC". The default value is "ISOTROPIC".
frequencyDependency: A Boolean specifying whether the data depend on frequency. The default value is false.
temperatureDependency: A Boolean specifying whether the data depend on temperature. The default value is false.
dependencies: An Int specifying the number of field variable dependencies. The default value is 0.

Table data

If type=ISOTROPIC, the table data specify the following:

Dielectric constant.
Frequency, if the data depend on frequency.
Temperature, if the data depend on temperature.
Value of the first field variable, if the data depend on field variables.
Value of the second field variable.
Etc.

If type=ORTHOTROPIC, the table data specify the following:

$D_{11}^{φ}$ .
$D_{22}^{φ}$ .
$D_{33}^{φ}$ .
Frequency, if the data depend on frequency.
Temperature, if the data depend on temperature.
Value of the first field variable, if the data depend on field variables.
Value of the second field variable.
Etc.

If type=ANISOTROPIC, the table data specify the following:

$D_{11}^{φ}$ .
$D_{12}^{φ}$ .
$D_{22}^{φ}$ .
$D_{13}^{φ}$ .
$D_{23}^{φ}$ .
$D_{33}^{φ}$ .
Frequency, if the data depend on frequency.
Temperature, if the data depend on temperature.
Value of the first field variable, if the data depend on field variables.
Value of the second field variable.
Etc.

Return value

A Dielectric object.

Exceptions

None.
