Parameters:

frequencyfloat, None: Frequency value for the patch calculation in Hz.
patch_widthfloat: Patch width.
patch_lengthfloat, optional: Patch length. The default is None.
patch_position_xfloat, optional: Patch start x position.
patch_position_yfloat, optional: Patch start y position. The default is 0.
patch_namestr, optional: Patch name. The default is None.
axisstr, optional: Line orientation axis. The default is "X".

Examples

>>> from pyaedt import Hfss
>>> from pyaedt.modeler.stackup_3d import Stackup3D
>>> hfss = Hfss()
>>> my_stackup = Stackup3D(hfss, 2.5e9)
>>> gnd = my_stackup.add_ground_layer("gnd")
>>> my_stackup.add_dielectric_layer("diel1", thickness=1.5, material="Duroid (tm)")
>>> top = my_stackup.add_signal_layer("top")
>>> my_patch = top.add_patch(frequency=None, patch_width=51, patch_name="MLPatch")
>>> my_stackup.resize_around_element(my_patch)
