How to simulate a non-flat surface

Hello,

As you can see throw the attached file, I a m trying to simulate a LC circuit to find de reflexion coefficient.

It is working but I want to upgrade it. The top electrode of my capacity is on a membrane that can deform. And I would designe the top electrode with this defomation. But this deformation is neither a paraboloïd nor a Bezeir curve. Do you know how can I define a surface with som points or a mathematical finction?

Thank you for your help,

    Hi Mathilde,

    you can use the "analytical curve" feature under the construction-tab to define a curve with analytical parametrization. Then, to build a surface, you may define multiple iso-curves and connect them with a loft operation to build a surface. Or (dependent on the surface type) maybe spin, sweep or path sweep operation could be an option.

    Hope this info is useful.

    Best Regards

    Christoph
