tidy3d.TemperatureMonitor#

class TemperatureMonitor[source]#

Bases: HeatMonitor

Temperature monitor.

Parameters:

• center (Attribute: center) –

  Type	Tuple[float, float, float]
  Default	= (0.0, 0.0, 0.0)
  Units	um
  Description	Center of object in x, y, and z.

• size (Attribute: size) –

  Type	Tuple[NonNegativeFloat, NonNegativeFloat, NonNegativeFloat]
  Default
  Units	um
  Description	Size in x, y, and z directions.

• name (Attribute: name) –

  Type	ConstrainedStrValue
  Default
  Description	Unique name for monitor.

• unstructured (Attribute: unstructured) –

  Type	bool
  Default	= False
  Description	Return data on the original unstructured grid.

• conformal (Attribute: conformal) –

  Type	bool
  Default	= False
  Description	If True the heat simulation mesh will conform to the monitor’s geometry. While this can be set for both Cartesian and unstructured monitors, it bears higher significance for the latter ones. Effectively, setting conformal = True for unstructured monitors (unstructured = True) ensures that returned temperature values will not be obtained by interpolation during postprocessing but rather directly transferred from the computational grid.
