This example describes how to do a modal high-frequency analysis of a cavity using ANSYS commands. You can also perform the analysis through the ANSYS GUI menus, using the procedures described in the next example.
This example analysis calculates the TE101 mode eigenfrequency and quality factor in a Teflon filled cavity with copper walls. The example assumes that the dielectric and surface losses are small and do not affect the eigenfrequency solution.
μr = 1.0
εr = 2.05
ρ = 1.0361x105
d = 1.0 m, w = 0.4 m, h = 0.3 m
τ = .58x108 S/m
μr = 1.0
Below is the command input stream used to perform this analysis. All text preceded by an exclamation point (!) is a comment.
