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)[source]#

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:

pyaedt.modeler.stackup_3d.Trace

>>> from pyaedt import Hfss
>>> from pyaedt.modeler.stackup_3d import Stackup3D
>>> hfss = Hfss(new_desktop_session=True)
>>> 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_trace = top.add_trace(line_width=2.5, line_length=22)
