Required argument

table

A sequence of sequences of Floats specifying the items described below.

Optional arguments

type

A SymbolicConstant specifying the dielectric behavior. Possible values are ISOTROPIC, ORTHOTROPIC, and ANISOTROPIC. The default value is ISOTROPIC.

frequencyDependency

A Boolean specifying whether the data depend on frequency. The default value is OFF.

temperatureDependency

A Boolean specifying whether the data depend on temperature. The default value is OFF.

dependencies

An Int specifying the number of field variable dependencies. The default value is 0.

Table data

If type=ISOTROPIC, the table data specify the following:

If type=ORTHOTROPIC, the table data specify the following:

If type=ANISOTROPIC, the table data specify the following:

Return value

A Dielectric object.

Exceptions

None.

This method modifies the Dielectric object.

Required arguments

None.

Optional arguments

The optional arguments to setValues are the same as the arguments to the Dielectric method.

Return value

None

Exceptions

None.

The Dielectric object has members with the same names and descriptions as the arguments to the Dielectric method.
