Anisotropic Materials
Anisotropic materials have characteristics that vary with direction. These characteristics are defined by their anisotropy tensors. You must define three diagonals each for anisotropic permittivity, electric loss tangent, conductivity, permeability, and magnetic loss tangent. Each diagonal represents a tensor of your model along an axis. The alignment of the materials axis with respect to the object is discussed in Assigning Material Property Types.
The following anisotropic characteristics can be defined:
- Anisotropic relative permeability tensors
- Anisotropic relative permittivity tensors
- Anisotropic conductivity tensors
- Anisotropic dielectric loss tangent tensors
- Anisotropic magnetic loss tangent tensors
- Anisotropic materials and ports
