ScrSetNearFieldSurfaceOffset

Controls the position of the surface over which near fields are computed. The positions are offset values in the design's length units with respect to the design's bounding cuboid.

UI Command:   Simulation > Compute Near Field. Enter offset values in the Cuboid Surface Positions box.
Syntax:   obj.ScrSetNearFieldSurfaceOffset(<px>, <nx>, <py>, <ny>, <pz>, <nz>)
Parameters:  

DOUBLE px (positive x)

DOUBLE nx (negative x)

DOUBLE py (positive y)

DOUBLE ny (negative y)

DOUBLE pz (positive z)

DOUBLE nz (negative z)

Return Value:  

BOOL

  • 0 – Failure
  • 1 – Success
VB Example:  

' places the near field surface 1mm above, below, front, behind, to the left and to the right of the design

' (assuming the design's length units are mm)

' outcome is TRUE on success, FALSE if any of the specified offset values are *NOT* positive

outcome = obj.ScrSetNearFieldSurfaceOffset(1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0)

IPY Example:  

oDoc.ScrSetNearFieldSurfaceOffset(1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0)
