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.
