FIELD

Tells tempest to produce a field file containing the specified field

 

variable at each point.

 

Parameters: variable xlo xhi ylo yhi zlo zhi x y z file

CAD

Produces a .ctxt (2-D) or 2-D or 3-D DXF file of the entire

 

simulation domain, suitable for importation into a CAD program,

 

e.g. for numerically controlled machining, photomask generation, or

 

documentation. In a 3-D DXF file, each block in the simulation

 

domain becomes a set of six 3DFACE entities. In a .ctxt or 2-D DXF

 

file, each block is projected onto two rectangles, representing the

 

upper and lower faces in the given orientation. POEMS DXF files

 

are known to import properly into several CAD packages including

 

Autodesk Inventor. Note that length unit used in the DXF file is

 

metres unless otherwise specified--since many CAD packages use a

 

fixed number of decimals, this may cause confusion when the

 

sample domain is very small (e.g. in optical waveguides). Note that

 

the orientation is ignored in a 3-D file.

 

Parameters: file filetype dimensions orientation units xcut ycut zcut space

 

Examples:

CAD file=ofile3.dxf filetype=dxf dimensions=3

 

 

CAD file=ofile2.dxf filetype=dxf dimensions=2,

 

 

units=micron orientation=ZX

 

 

CAD file=ofile.ctxt filetype=ctxt units=micron,

 

 

orientation=XY

 

The CAD statement also permits defining a line (for 2-D) or a plane

 

(3-D), parallel to a coordinate axis, at which extra space is to be

 

inserted, for use with shadow mask fabrication. For instance, for a

 

bridge width of 1.5 µm, you can add the following to the CAD

 

statement:

 

 

CAD file=mask.ctxt filetype=ctxt units=micron orientation=XY,

 

xcut=1.8*um space=1.5*um

WEBPAGE

Produces a static HTML page containing all the relevant run

 

parameters, output bitmaps, and links to other files such as DXF

 

and Vis5D.
