Source Overview

Descriptions of built-in source and user-defined source in the software.

Sources

This section describes sources.

After adding a solver, the solver tab will automatically appear, which contains various sources. Users can select the desired source and click anywhere in the Composite viewer. Users can modify source settings in pop-up Edit properties interface to complete the addition of source.

Settings for Dipole Sources

This section describes settings for dipole sources.

In FDTD, an electric dipole generates a field around the oscillating point charge, while a magnetic dipole exhibits field distribution around a current loop.

Select Dipole in the solver tab and create a dipole in the Composite viewer, then set further parameters in the Edit properties interface that automatically pops up.

Settings for TFSF Sources

This section describes the settings for TFSF sources.

When studying scattering field problems, Total-Field Scattered-Field (TFSF) sources can be employed to directly acquire the scattering fields.

Select the TFSF in the solver tab and create a TFSF source in the Composite viewer, then set further parameters in the Edit properties interface that automatically pops up.

Settings for Mode Sources

This section describes settings for mode sources.

Select Mode source in the solver tab and create a mode source in Composite viewer, then set further parameters in the Edit properties interface that automatically pops up.

Settings for Import Sources

This section describes settings for import sources.

Import sources offer users more flexible options, and here are some settings related to Import sources.

Select Import in the solver tab and create an Import source in Composite viewer, then set further parameters in the Edit properties interface that automatically pops up.
