*IMPEDANCE
*IMPEDANCE PROPERTY
Required, mutually exclusive parameters:
PROPERTY
Set this parameter equal to the name of the *IMPEDANCE PROPERTYoption defining the table
of impedance values to be used.
NONREFLECTING
Set NONREFLECTING=PLANAR (default) to specify the impedance corresponding to that of a
normal incidence plane wave.
Set NONREFLECTING=IMPROVED to specify the impedance corresponding to that of
a plane wave at an arbitrary angle of incidence. This parameter can be used only for transient
dynamics.
Set NONREFLECTING=CIRCULAR to specify a radia tion condition appropriate for a
circular boundary in two dimensions or a right circular cylinder in three dime nsions.
Set NONREFLECTING=SPHERICAL to specify a radia tion condition appropriate for a
spherical boundary.
Set NONREFLECTING=ELLIPTICAL to specify a radiation condition appropriate for an
elliptical boundary in two dimensions or a right elliptical cylinde r in three dimensions.
Set NONREFLECTING=PROLATE SPHEROIDAL to specify a radiation condition
appropriate for a prolate spheroidal boundary.
