EXPansion

EXPansion

Arguments: WHAt minExp maxExp FunArg Exp Fac Loop Bnd Dom Obj Con Col

Meaning: Adapt 2D multipole expansions with one of the routines of the Modify 2D multipoles dialog. WHAt corresponds to the button in  Modify 2D multipoles dialog. It may be one of the list below. The remaining arguments define the parameters specified in the Modify 2D multipoles dialog (see there for more details). When an argument is unreadable (for example, the string “-“ is an unreadable argument), its value in the Modify 2D multipoles dialog is left unchanged. The parameters are:

• minExp:  number of the first expansion

• maxExp: number of the last expansion

• FunArg: argument of the function array

• Exp: exponent

• Fac: factor (usually 0<Fac<1, typical: Fac*Loop close to 1)

• Loop: number of loops (should be >0 - except for WHAt=BALance, see below)

• Bnd: boundary number

• Dom: domain number

• Obj: object number

• Con: connection number

• Col: color number

The following routines - specified by WHAt - are available:

• BALance: Balance the locations of the selected multipoles (Loop>0) / the multipole orders (Loop=0) / the gaps between associated areas of the boundary (Loop<0)

• DEPendent: Delete dependent multipoles.

• FACtor: Move the locations of the selected multipoles with the specified factor Fac.

• FICtitious: Delete multipoles along fictitious boundaries with identical domains on both sides.

• INSide: Delete multipoles inside the domain.

• LOCation: Adapt the locations of the selected multipoles using data of the function array.

• ORDers: Adapt the maximum orders of the selected multipoles using data of the function array.

• OUTside: Try to move multipoles outside the domain.

• RANdom: Randomize the locations of the selected multipoles.
