Troubleshooting

Your OpenEMS simulation generates crap? The results are unexpected? Let's try to debug the structure:

Debug PECs (perfect electric conductors)
Add two options to the RunOpenEMS command in your Matlab/Octave script: This tells openEMS to dump the PECs into the file PEC_dump.vtp in the simulation folder and stop.

Now open Paraview to visualize the generated file.
 * Load the data file PEC_dump.vtp

All PEC edges as detected by openEMS will be shown.

Note: FDTD represents planes or volumes of metal by a metal mesh with all mesh lines being PEC.
