tidy3d.MeshOverrideStructure

class MeshOverrideStructure

Bases: AbstractStructure

Defines an object that is only used in the process of generating the mesh.

Parameters:

• geometry (Union[Box, Transformed, ClipOperation, GeometryGroup, Sphere, Cylinder, PolySlab, ComplexPolySlabBase, TriangleMesh]) – 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.

Notes

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.

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')
