Re: material density

This property does not affect the EM simulation at all.
It is only required for SAR post-processing.
The unit is of course kg/m³. E.g. ~1000 for water.

Re: No output when running simulation

Thanks for verifying. I will make a patch and a new version soon...

Re: function that restores structures from the xml-file

Hi, the python interface can do this. It has a read functionality too. But , I have never needed this since I usually only ever added a post_proc_only flag and just reran the entrie matlab/octave script just without deleting any data and without running the solver. This would only do the post-proces...

Re: No output when running simulation

I think this is how it should be in "matlab/private/invole_openEMS.m" Lines 47-end:

Code: Select all

exitcode = system(command);
if (exitcode~=0);
    error(['openEMS binary exited with error-code ' num2str(exitcode)]);
end
This works for me, can you verify...

Re: No output when running simulation

The cause is this change:
https://github.com/thliebig/openEMS/com ... 6b9a7d17fc

I think we have to revert it...
Thanks for the feedback.

Re: High level FDTD question

Hi Dom, I'm sure I have answered this before but I cannot find it ;) The displayed energy is only a rough/ fast estimate. It for example completely neglects the material distribution (aka assumes everything to be vacuum or metal). During the excitation the energy in-flow is not constant and some dec...

Re: imaginary part of feed.R

Hi, the FDTD method is a time domain method (TD). Thus it does not have any concept of complex numbers or values. Only after you convert data from time domain into frequency domain (via FFT or DFT) during post-processing you have complex values. Thus you cannot use complex values for anything or any...

Re: Time step (or sampling frequency) of the field dumps

I assume you mean the hdf5 field dumps? The openEMS read functions contain a TD signal with the exact timesteps that were saved. This is of course very important if you want to transform from TD to FD. Have a close look here: https://github.com/thliebig/openEMS/blob/master/matlab/ReadHDF5FieldData.m...

Re: simulation never finishes. fields seem frozen?

Energy that continuously increases usually means that the PML have gone unstable. The PML are usually the only element that is not inherently stable.
You may try to move them further away and/or make sure the mesh inside of them is homogeneous and in good shape.

Re: TinyXML becomes a big problem

Well yeah, Octave from snap won't work I guess.

I have updated the readme on github, let me know if this are really all required packages...
