Hello Alexander,

no, you have a Vector<double> as destination object. Thus, you have to save a scalar, not a vector.

Hallo Markus,

Orientation vector is defined based on experiment you want to reproduce.
For instance, modeling any finite length dipole of specified power can be done as:

/*f*(*p*) = a * *n* * \delta (*p* - p_s);/
*n* = {n_x n_y n_z} -- orientation vector;
a = I * L; I -- current, L -- length

Same can be done for magnetic dipoles (antennas).
So this is quite convenient and many real sources can be well approximated by this vector function.

However, I'm not sure now that the dot product of orientation vector and shape function is correct representation. The dot product gives us scalar, whereas we need vector with each component assigned to individual field components of FE_Nedelec. Is this still correct?

Thanks.

Hello Alexander,

then you are right and inserting the dot product of orientation vector and shape function should work. Where do you get the orientation vector from? Should this be another argument of the function?

Best Regards,
Markus

Markus,

My previous email wasn't clear.

For EM, we can have some vector that defines orientation of the unit dipole, then source is defined as following
/f(p) = n * \delta (p - p_s);/ n = {n_x n_y n_z} -- orientation vector

Elements of this vector should then be assigned to corresponding cell's components (i.e. E{x,y,z}). For instance, x-directed unit dipole would give us 3 component vector with only 1st element == 1.
