corners. This primitive is especially useful with plane wave

 

illumination, where we want PMLs only on the front and back faces

 

of the region. The wide face of the object must touch one of the

 

faces of the simulation domain. The PML absorption directions will

 

be the outward normals for the face, outward-directed face

 

diagonals for the edges, and outward-directed body diagonals for

 

the corners. If for some reason you call this with an ordinary

 

material, it just adds a regular block.

 

Parameters: mattype xlo xhi ylo yhi zlo zhi

 

 

 

 

CURVE

Adds a curved object whose path is expressed by a user-defined

 

planar curve, (u(s), v(s)), and whose outline is swept out by the

 

region f(q,r) > 0 as the parameter s advances from slo to shi.

 

Variable q is the normal to the plane, and r is parallel to q × (du/ds,

 

dv/ds). This statement can be used to make very general curved

 

objects of variable cross-section. Due to the uniform rectangular

 

grid employed by FIDO/TEMPEST, curved objects will look somewhat

 

different depending on the direction of their axes at any given

 

place. POEMS attempts to minimize this effect.

 

Parameters: mattype slo shi perp hfunc vfunc

 

Not implemented in this release.

 

 

 

 

3DCURVE

Like CURVE, but the axial curve is allowed to be nonplanar. This

 

statement is more complicated to use, due to the noncommuting

 

property of 3-D rotations—in specifying the functions u, v, w, it’s

 

easy to get mixed up by the way they rotate around.

 

Parameters:

 

Not implemented in this release.

 

 

 

 

CYLINDER

Adds an object whose axis is a straight line, but whose outline is an

 

arbitrary function of the perpendicular coordinate.

 

Parameters: mattype axis lo hi maxradius insidefunc

 

Not implemented in this release.
