Hello you all,
I am stuck with a very little issue, so I hope you help me out, please:
I think I grasp the basics on using Eigenmode Solver, but still dont know how to plot the classical dispersion diagram of a unit cell (typical beta versus frequency) and I need it urgently to study negative refraction index regions and other metamaterial features... I have read the steps from other users, but it seems to me that in 2014 version, things are a bit different because eventually I get nothing. So far, what I performed is: I set boundary conditions to the unit cell (periodic in z axis, direction of propagation). Next, went to Solver Parameters and set JDM Method on a hexaedral type mesh and a few modes (3). I created a variable called PHASE-Z, obviously for the parametric sweep in such direction between 0 and 180 degrees and started the simulation.
I expected results in the "tables" folder, but i am pretty sure I need to use some Template Based Postprocessing. If i am right, Which template should I evaluate and what would be the exact steps to show the final dispersion diagram? Do I have to scale some graphic to turn it into the final dispersion diagram? I honestly say that I am really lost in here and I need it for researching purposes. Any help would be great.
Thanks!
