tidy3d.Structure#

class tidy3d.Structure#

Defines a physical object that interacts with the electromagnetic fields. A Structure is a combination of a material property (AbstractMedium) and a Geometry.

Parameters

Example

>>> from tidy3d import Box, Medium
>>> box = Box(center=(0,0,1), size=(2, 2, 2))
>>> glass = Medium(permittivity=3.9)
>>> struct = Structure(geometry=box, medium=glass, name='glass_box')
