    Adding a PEC Ground Plane

    Updated

    A perfectly electric conducting (PEC) ground plane, parallel to the xy-plane, can be added to the model by means of the following procedure:

    1. Go to Setup tab > Environment panel >.
    2. Select the Perfect option in the Ground Plane box, Fig. 1.
    3. Set the ground plane position under the Position label (Z-coordinate).
    Fig. 1: Perfect option in the Ground plane box of the Environment panel.

    When the perfect ground is selected, an infinite PEC ground plane will be placed at the specified position, Z, from the xy-plane.

    • If Z > 0, the PEC ground plane will be above the xy-plane.
    • If Z = 0, the PEC ground plane will be the xy-plane.
    • If Z < 0, the PEC ground plane will be below the xy-plane.
