Is it possible to create an infinite dielectric object in FEKO? That is, an object with a defined upper Z direction boundary, but terminating at -infinity in the Z direction and infinite X and Y dimensions.

    Dear sutton304803

     

    Various options for infinite planes and (dielectric) half spaces can be selected through the  'Plane / ground' option under the Construct tab in CADFEKO:

    This opens the 'Plane / ground' dialog where you have various options. For your application you could use one of the two 'Homogeneous half space in region Z<0' options or even the 'Planar multilayer substrate' option if it is specifically required to have the top of the half space at any other value than Z=0.

    More information on these option can be found under the section 'Infinite Planes and Half-Spaces' in the Feko Help (accessed by hitting <F1> in CADFEKO).
