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
phase state
3.1.9. POSTPROCESS Group
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.
Parameters: file
