2D meshing: uz cross-section#

You can mesh an out of plane Component cross-section by supplying the argument type="uz" and a xsection_bounds under the form [[x1,y1], [x2,y2]], which parametrizes a line in u-coordinates

We can plot as usual (note that the u-z coordinates we are working in still map to xy for the plotter):

Mesh background#

You can add a convenience argument to add a background mesh around the geometry (instead of defining a dummy polygon and layer in the layer_stack with low mesh_order):

mesh = get_mesh(
    component=waveguide_trimmed,
    type="uz",
    xsection_bounds=[(4, -4), (4, 4)],
    layer_stack=filtered_layer_stack,
    filename=f"{filename}.msh",
    background_tag="oxide",
    background_padding=(2.0, 2.0, 2.0, 2.0),
)
mesh = mesh_with_physicals(mesh, filename)
mesh = from_meshio(mesh)
mesh.draw().plot()
