Medium of the faces in FEKO

Hello everyone,

 

I have a mode of a propeller in which I have only faces and edges. However, it is a 3D figure. When I want to make the medium of the model a dielectric medium, I get to choose between PEC, layered dielectric and default. The thing I do not understand is how can be a layered dielectric be a medium? Is it over a medium already? What exactly does it do when I select the medium as layered dielectric?

    If you want to make it a solid dielectric, the model has to have a fully enclosed volume. This is indicated by a 'Region' being present in the details tree. Under Display Options, Connectivity you can see any unconnected edges or gaps in the model highlighted in red.

    Yes! However, the meaning of a face with a medium as layered dielectric as I showed in the question means that it is a thin dielectric sheet only?
