tidy3d.rf.Custom2DCurrentIntegralSpec#

class Custom2DCurrentIntegralSpec[source]#

Bases: Custom2DPathIntegralSpec

Class for specifying the computation of conduction current via Ampère’s circuital law on a custom path. To compute the current flowing in the positive axis direction, the vertices should be ordered in a counterclockwise direction.

Parameters:
  • axis (Literal[0, 1, 2]) – Specifies dimension of the planar axis (0,1,2) -> (x,y,z).

  • position (float) – Position of the plane along the axis.

  • vertices (ArrayLike[dtype=float, ndim=2]) – [units = um]. List of (d1, d2) defining the 2 dimensional positions of the path. The index of dimension should be in the ascending order, which means if the axis corresponds with y, the coordinates of the vertices should be (x, z). The path must form a closed contour, i.e., vertices[-1] == vertices[0].

Example

>>> import numpy as np
>>> vertices = np.array([[0, 0], [2, 0], [2, 1], [0, 1], [0, 0]])
>>> current_spec = Custom2DCurrentIntegralSpec(
...     axis=2,
...     position=0,
...     vertices=vertices
... )

Methods

plot([x, y, z, ax, plot_arrow])

Plot path integral at single (x,y,z) coordinate.

vertices#
plot(x=None, y=None, z=None, ax=None, plot_arrow=True, **path_kwargs)[source]#

Plot path integral at single (x,y,z) coordinate.

Parameters:
  • x (float = None) – Position of plane in x direction, only one of x,y,z can be specified to define plane.

  • y (float = None) – Position of plane in y direction, only one of x,y,z can be specified to define plane.

  • z (float = None) – Position of plane in z direction, only one of x,y,z can be specified to define plane.

  • ax (matplotlib.axes._subplots.Axes = None) – Matplotlib axes to plot on, if not specified, one is created.

  • plot_arrow (bool = True) – Whether to plot the arrow indicating current direction. Default is True.

  • **path_kwargs – Optional keyword arguments passed to the matplotlib plotting of the line. For details on accepted values, refer to Matplotlib’s documentation.

Returns:

The supplied or created matplotlib axes.

Return type:

matplotlib.axes._subplots.Axes
