Python API for Debye dispersive model

[gbgbha]

Hello all,

I am investigating the effects of blood glucose concentration on bioimpedance spectroscopy. I have a Debye's model with parameters depending on glucose concentration levels. I would like to create and run multiple simulations using the Debye dispersive model, each time with different parameters.

My question: Is it possible, through the Python API, to incorporate the Debye parameters to my sims?

Thanks,
gbh

Yes,

You need to import XMaterials and specify the material model to be linear dispersive, as in the following example (which should be easy to extend), where parameters for one Debye pole are assigned.

import XMaterials as xm

# Adding a new MaterialSettings
material_settings = emfdtd.MaterialSettings()
material_settings.ElectricProps.MaterialModel = material_settings.ElectricProps.MaterialModel.enum.LinearDispersive

# Specify settings for dispersive poles
material_settings.raw.ElectricDispersiveSettings.StartFrequency = 10.e6
material_settings.raw.ElectricDispersiveSettings.EndFrequency = 100000.e6

material_settings.raw.ElectricDispersiveSettings.Conductivity = 0.
material_settings.raw.ElectricDispersiveSettings.Permittivity = 11.098

debye_pole_01 = xm.LinearDispersionPole()
debye_pole_01.Active = True

debye_pole_01.Type = xm.LinearDispersionPole.ePoleType.kDebye
debye_pole_01[xm.LinearDispersionPole.ePoleProperty.kDebyeAmplitude] = 1.0
debye_pole_01[xm.LinearDispersionPole.ePoleProperty.kDebyeStaticPermittivity] = 22.67
debye_pole_01[xm.LinearDispersionPole.ePoleProperty.kDebyeInfinityPermittivity] = 11.098
debye_pole_01[xm.LinearDispersionPole.ePoleProperty.kDebyeDamping] = 3.234e-11

# Add dispersive poles to the Linear Electric Dispersion Viewer
material_settings.raw.ElectricDispersiveSettings.Poles = [debye_pole_01]
