EPlane#

class ansys.aedt.toolkits.antenna.backend.antenna_models.horn.EPlane(*args, **kwargs)[source]#

Manages an E plane horn antenna.

This class is accessible through the app hfss object [1].

Parameters:

frequencyfloat, optional: Center frequency. The default is 10.0.
frequency_unitstr, optional: Frequency units. The default is "GHz".
materialstr, optional: Horn material. If a material is not defined, a new material, parametrized, is defined. The default is "pec".
outer_boundarystr, optional: Boundary type to use. The default is None. Options are "FEBI", "PML", "Radiation", and None.
length_unitstr, optional: Length units. The default is "mm".
parametrizedbool, optional: Whether to create a parametrized antenna. The default is True.

Returns:

aedt.toolkits.antenna.EPlaneHorn: E plane horn object.

Examples

>>> from ansys.aedt.toolkits.antenna.backend.antenna_models.horn import EPlane
>>> import ansys.aedt.core
>>> app = ansys.aedt.core.Hfss()
>>> oantenna1 = EPlane(app)
>>> oantenna1.frequency = 12.0
>>> oantenna1.model_hfss()
>>> oantenna1.setup_hfss()
>>> oantenna2 = EPlane(app, origin=[0.2, 0.5, 0])
>>> oantenna2.model_hfss()
>>> oantenna2.setup_hfss()
>>> app.release_desktop(False, False)
