3d_extrusion_spec02

{

This descriptor is a demonstration of the grammar of 3D extrusions.

It is a completion of the 3D specification example shown in

"Help | Technical Notes | Extrusions in 3D".

It describes a strip capacitor fabricated as a sandwich of

air | metal | glass | metal | air.

 

See the sample problem "Capacitor3D" for a somewhat more complicated

and interesting version.

BOUNDARIES

SURFACE "Bottom" VALUE(V)=0

SURFACE "Top" VALUE(V)=1

REGION 1      { this is the outer boundary of the system }

     LAYER "Dielectric" K = Kdiel      { all other layers default to Kair }

     START(0,0)

     LINE TO (5,0)  TO (5,5)  TO(0,5)  to close

LIMITED REGION 2     { this region exists only in the "bottom metal" layer, and describes the larger plate }

     LAYER "Bottom Metal" K = Kmetal

     START(1,0)

     LAYER "Bottom Metal" VALUE(V)=V0

     LINE TO (4,0)

     LAYER "Bottom Metal" NATURAL(V)=0

     Line TO (4,5) TO (1,5) to close

LIMITED REGION 3     { this region exists only in layer "Top Metal", and describes the smaller plate }

     LAYER "Top Metal" K = Kmetal

     START(2,0)

     LINE TO (3,0) TO (3,5)

     LAYER "Top Metal" VALUE(V)=V1

     LINE TO (2,5)
