create_waveguide#

Modeler3D.create_waveguide(origin, wg_direction_axis, wgmodel='WG0', wg_length=100, wg_thickness=None, wg_material='aluminum', parametrize_w=False, parametrize_h=False, create_sheets_on_openings=False, name=None)#

Create a standard waveguide and optionally parametrize W and H.

Available models are WG0.0, WG0, WG1, WG2, WG3, WG4, WG5, WG6, WG7, WG8, WG9, WG9A, WG10, WG11, WG11A, WG12, WG13, WG14, WG15, WR102, WG16, WG17, WG18, WG19, WG20, WG21, WG22, WG24, WG25, WG26, WG27, WG28, WG29, WG29, WG30, WG31, and WG32.

Parameters:

originlist: List of [x, y, z] coordinates for the original position.
wg_direction_axisint: Coordinate system axis (integer 0 for X, 1 for Y, 2 for Z) or the Application.AXIS enumerator.
wgmodelstr, optional: Waveguide model. The default is "WG0".
wg_lengthfloat, optional: Waveguide length. The default is 100.
wg_thicknessfloat, optional: Waveguide thickness. The default is None, in which case the thickness is wg_height/20.
wg_materialstr, optional: Waveguide material. The default is "aluminum".
parametrize_wbool, optional: Whether to parametrize W. The default is False.
parametrize_hbool, optional: Whether to parametrize H. The default is False.
create_sheets_on_openingsbool, optional: Whether to create sheets on both openings. The default is False.
namestr, optional: Name of the waveguide. The default is None.

Returns:

Tuple[ansys.aedt.core.modeler.cad.object_3d.Object3d]: Objects created by the waveguide.

Examples

This example shows how to create a WG9 waveguide.

>>> from ansys.aedt.core import Hfss
>>> app = Hfss()
>>> position = [0, 0, 0]
>>> wg1 = app.modeler.create_waveguide(position, app.AXIS.,
...                                    wgmodel="WG9", wg_length=2000)
