Part Libraries
In RF simulations, it is often necessary to set up identical geometry sequences, such as connectors, multiple times. This can be conveniently accomplished using the Part Library for the RF Module.
The Part Library contains complex shapes, frequently required for RF simulations, including the following parts:
•
Connectors
•
Coplanar Waveguides
•
Surface mount devices
•
Waveguides
The parts are built from partially parameterized sequences of geometry instructions. For example, you can load the connector_sma_flange2 part into a model and then specify the outer and inner radii of the coaxial structure. RF parts usually include selections for the conductive boundary that make it easy to apply PEC boundary conditions while setting up the physics.
The following RF tutorials use the Part Library to create their geometry sequences:
