SEP Mesh Requirements

  Are there material specific modifications to the the meshing rules for the SEP? I ask because when I switched from using a PEC to a dielectric while using the same meshing size I received errors indicating the mesh size was to large. I know for the volumetric solvers it depends on the effective wavelength in the medium, is it similar for the SEP?

 

Cheers,

Patrick

    Hi Patrick

     

    The FEKO User Manual contains detailed information on meshing rules. Please see the sections on 'Automatic meshing'.

     

    Quoting from the manual:

     

    Metal face bounding a SEP region: The smallest wavelength in the media bounding the face is used to determine the mesh size.
    In all other cases the largest wavelength for the bounding media is used to determine the mesh size.

     

    Does this answer your question?

     

    Kind regards
    Madelé
