Hi all This isn't really a bug, but I think people should be aware of this matter (I believe this problem has not been reported before here)
When defining a metallic cylindric structure (using the cylindric dimensions), one has to put the eps-averaging? flag to false. This causes however, that two possible ways to define the cylinder, that should be the same, aren't the same. One could define the cylinder by centering a "block" (which is really a cylinder, because we are working in cylindric dimensions) at half the radius, and then setting the radial size to the wanted size. Another possible way is center the "block" at at r=0, and then setting the radial size to cylinder's diameter. The two option should be the same, but when turning eps-everaging? off , they aren't, and they also lead to quite different results, as I found out I believe the more correct way is to define the cylinder by its diameter and centering at r=0 ...? best, avner
