tidy3d.Structure#

class tidy3d.Structure#

Bases: tidy3d.components.structure.AbstractStructure

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')

Defines the electromagnetic properties of the structure’s medium.

attribute name: str = None#

Optional name for the structure.

Validated by
  • field_has_unique_names

classmethod add_type_field() None#

Automatically place “type” field with model name in the model field dictionary.

classmethod construct(_fields_set: Optional[SetStr] = None, **values: Any) Model#

Creates a new model setting __dict__ and __fields_set__ from trusted or pre-validated data. Default values are respected, but no other validation is performed. Behaves as if Config.extra = ‘allow’ was set since it adds all passed values

copy(**kwargs) tidy3d.components.base.Tidy3dBaseModel#

Copy a Tidy3dBaseModel. With deep=True as default.

dict(*, include: Optional[Union[AbstractSetIntStr, MappingIntStrAny]] = None, exclude: Optional[Union[AbstractSetIntStr, MappingIntStrAny]] = None, by_alias: bool = False, skip_defaults: Optional[bool] = None, exclude_unset: bool = False, exclude_defaults: bool = False, exclude_none: bool = False) DictStrAny#

Generate a dictionary representation of the model, optionally specifying which fields to include or exclude.

classmethod dict_from_file(fname: str, group_path: Optional[str] = None) dict#

Loads a dictionary containing the model from a .yaml, .json, or .hdf5 file.

Parameters
  • fname (str) – Full path to the .yaml or .json file to load the Tidy3dBaseModel from.

  • group_path (str, optional) – Path to a group inside the file to use as the base level.

Returns

A dictionary containing the model.

Parameters
  • fname (str) – Full path to the .hdf5 file to load the Tidy3dBaseModel from.

  • group_path (str, optional) – Path to a group inside the file to selectively load a sub-element of the model only.

Returns

Dictionary containing the model.

Return type
