&CELL: SOLIDS: BOX


CENTRE

The location of the centre of gravity of the box.

[No default.]


HALF-LENGTHS

Half the overall dimensions of the box.

[No default.]


DIRECTION

A direction vector that specifies the orientation of the box in space.

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

[By default, the box is not rotated i.e. the half lengths are assumed to have been measured along x, y and z.]


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]


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: B]
