Creating a Unit Cell for an Array

You use the Modeler to create a unit cell for an array.

• The unit cell can be rectangular, parallelogram or hexagonal.

• You must define appropriate master and slave boundaries, as well as other boundaries required for the model. Deleting a master or slave boundary that is referenced by an existing array also deletes the array. Typically, you define master and slave boundaries as opposite sides of a cell.

In such cases, with master and slave boundaries on opposite sides, the array sides align.

However, you can arrange master and slave boundaries to create an offset array. In such cases, you create both a master and a slave boundary for corresponding sections of a cell side, and assign master and slave to create offset alignment.

With all boundaries defined in this manner, the array can be offset.

• In making source definitions for unit cell for the unit cell, you cannot assign a Floquet port.

• Each driven Modal or driven Terminal design can contain a single array.

Editing the model object for an existing array invalidates any existing solutions.
