1.5.5    Setting boundary conditions

In the Model tab we press the Borders  button. The Boundary Conditions dialogue will appear.

In the Boundary conditions frame we uncheck the All directions check box and we set Perfect Magnetic Conductor (PMC) for Ymin and Ymax positions and Perfect Electric Conductor (PEC) for the rest and press Apply. Please note that boundary conditions’ indicators are visible when Boundary Conditions dialogue is opened or when visibility for Computational Borders is enabled. We will make Boundary Conditions indicators visible using Visibility  button.

After zooming the display, we can observe that violet colour indicates PMC boundary conditions and brown colour indicates PEC boundary conditions.
