tidy3d.TemperatureMonitor

class TemperatureMonitor

Bases: HeatMonitor

Temperature monitor.

Parameters:

• center (Tuple[float, float, float] = (0.0, 0.0, 0.0)) – [units = um]. Center of object in x, y, and z.

• size (Tuple[NonNegativeFloat, NonNegativeFloat, NonNegativeFloat]) – [units = um]. Size in x, y, and z directions.

• name (ConstrainedStrValue) – Unique name for monitor.

• unstructured (bool = False) – Return data on the original unstructured grid.

• conformal (bool = False) – If True the heat simulation mesh will conform to the monitor’s geometry. While this can be set for both Cartesian and unstructured monitors, it bears higher significance for the latter ones. Effectively, setting conformal = True for unstructured monitors (unstructured = True) ensures that returned temperature values will not be obtained by interpolation during postprocessing but rather directly transferred from the computational grid.
