&CELL: SOLIDS: HOLE


CENTRE

The location of the point that is on the central axis of the hole, half-way between the 2 planes of the box perpendicular to the central axis of the hole.

[No default.]


radius

The radius of the hole as measured at the "lower" and at the "upper" surface of the box. If these radii are the same, then only one of them needs to be entered.

[No default.]


HALF-LENGTHS

Half the overall dimensions of the box.

[No default.]


DIRECTION

The direction vector of the central axis of the hole.

The normalisation of the vector is not used. Zero-norm vectors are not acceptable.

[By default, the central axis is aligned with the z-axis.]


material

Specifies whether the box is made of conducting or from dielectric material. To differentiate the solids in drawings, one has the option to choose between various representations:

Type Representation Notes
CONDUCTOR CONDUCTORS-1 Equivalent to CONDUCTOR-1
CONDUCTOR-1 CONDUCTORS-1 -
CONDUCTOR-2 CONDUCTORS-2 -
CONDUCTOR-3 CONDUCTORS-3 -
DIELECTRICUM DIELECTRICA-1 Equivalent to DIELECTRICUM-1
DIELECTRICUM-1 DIELECTRICA-1 -
DIELECTRICUM-2 DIELECTRICA-2 -
DIELECTRICUM-3 DIELECTRICA-3 -

[Default: CONDUCTOR]


N

The hole is drawn as a polygon with a finite number of panels. N specifies the number of panels on the hole wall.

By default, N is chosen in function of the size occupied by the box and hole in the drawing. If you decide to specify N manually, then the same number will be used no matter how large or small the box and hole appear in the drawing.


label

A one character identification of the solid.

This label serves the same purpose as the wire label for wires, namely the selection of the solid as a place where signals can be measured, around which isochrons are drawn etc.

[Default: H]
