add_dielectric_layer#

Stackup3D.add_dielectric_layer(name, material='FR4_epoxy', thickness=0.035, frequency=None)[source]#

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)")
