Error in calculating grid function in a particular grid

Bempp
1

Hello,

I am Woojun Lee and a PhD student at ECE department of Virginia tech.

I am just trying to use Bempp to calculate impedance on a two-ported microstrip structure.

For that, I meshed a cuboid structure with some holes using Ngsolve module, imported it into Bempp grid, and tested some grid functions.

I just tried to make the grid function of incident wave with +z direction, but the coefficients were ridiculously big and don’t make sense as below.

I am just trying to figure it out myself but I need some help!

Here are the codes I have tested.

Hello,

Pease ignore the question above.

I’ve just realized that grid function would be some projection values of incident field and my code above simply doesn’t make sense to plot such electric field!
