&CELL: SOLIDS: SPHERE


CENTRE

The location of the centre of gravity of the sphere.

[No default.]


RADIUS

The radius of the sphere.

[No default.]


material

Specifies whether the sphere 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 sphere is drawn as a a set of parallelograms, much the same way maps are drawn. N specifies the number of meridians and also the number of parallels.

[By default, N is chosen in function of the size occupied by the sphere in the drawing. If you decide to specify N manually, then the same number will be used no matter how large or small the sphere appears 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 isochrones are drawn etc.

[Default: S]
