add_trace

Layer3D.add_trace(line_width, line_length, is_electrical_length=False, is_impedance=False, line_position_x=0, line_position_y=0, line_name=None, axis='X', reference_system=None, frequency=1000000000.0)

Create a trace.

Parameters:

line_widthfloat

Line width. It can be the physical width or the line impedance.

line_lengthfloat

Line length. It can be the physical length or the electrical length in degrees.

is_electrical_lengthbool, optional

Whether the line length is an electrical length or a physical length. The default is False, which means it is a physical length.

is_impedancebool, optional

Whether the line width is an impedance. The default is False, in which case the line width is a geometrical value.

line_position_xfloat, optional

Line center start x position. The default is 0.

line_position_yfloat, optional

Line center start y position. The default is 0.

line_namestr, optional

Line name. The default is None.

axisstr, optional

Line orientation axis. The default is "X".

reference_systemstr, optional

Line reference system. The default is None, in which case a new coordinate system is created.

frequencyfloat, optional

Frequency value for the line calculation in Hz. The default is 1e9.

Returns:

ansys.aedt.core.modeler.advanced_cad.stackup_3d.Trace
