tidy3d.MeshOverrideStructure#

class tidy3d.MeshOverrideStructure#

Defines an object that is only used in the process of generating the mesh. A MeshOverrideStructure is a combination of geometry Geometry, grid size along x,y,z directions, and a boolean on whether the override will be enforced.

Parameters
  • geometry (Union[Box, Sphere, Cylinder, PolySlab, GeometryGroup]) – Defines geometric properties of the structure.

  • name (Optional[str] = None) – Optional name for the structure.

  • dl (Tuple[PositiveFloat, PositiveFloat, PositiveFloat]) – [units = um]. Grid size along x, y, z directions.

  • enforce (bool = False) – If True, enforce the grid size setup inside the structure even if the structure is inside a structure of smaller grid size. In the intersection region of multiple structures of enforce=True, grid size is decided by the last added structure of enforce=True.

Example

>>> from tidy3d import Box
>>> box = Box(center=(0,0,1), size=(2, 2, 2))
>>> struct_override = MeshOverrideStructure(geometry=box, dl=(0.1,0.2,0.3), name='override_box')

attribute dl: Tuple[Optional[pydantic.types.PositiveFloat], Optional[pydantic.types.PositiveFloat], Optional[pydantic.types.PositiveFloat]] [Required]#

Grid size along x, y, z directions.

attribute enforce: bool = False#

If True, enforce the grid size setup inside the structure even if the structure is inside a structure of smaller grid size. In the intersection region of multiple structures of enforce=True, grid size is decided by the last added structure of enforce=True.
