add_dielectric_layer

Stackup3D.add_dielectric_layer(name, material='FR4_epoxy', thickness=0.035, frequency=None)

Add a new dielectric layer to the stackup.

Parameters:

namestr

Layer name.

materialstr

Material name. The default is "FR4_epoxy". The material will be parametrized.

thicknessfloat, str, optional

Thickness value. The default is 0.035. The thickness will be parametrized.

frequencyfloat, optional

The layer frequency, it will be common to all geometric shapes on the layer. The default is None, so each shape must have their own frequency.

Returns:

ansys.aedt.core.modeler.advanced_cad.stackup_3d.Layer3D

Layer object.

Examples

>>> from ansys.aedt.core import Hfss
>>> from ansys.aedt.core.modeler.advanced_cad.stackup_3d import Stackup3D
>>> hfss = Hfss()
>>> my_stackup = Stackup3D(hfss, 2.5e9)
>>> my_dielectric_layer = my_stackup.add_dielectric_layer("diel", thickness=1.5, material="Duroid (tm)")
