Electromagnetic Wave Frequency Domain Symmetry Plane

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hello COMSOL community, I am currently trying to simulate a rectangular grating that is periodic in the z direction. I want to simulate a finite number of periods. Since the simulation is periodic in the z direction, the geometry is symmetric across the xy origin plane. I was wondering if there was any symmetry boundary (much like the symmetric boundary condition in Lumerical's FDTD).

Thank you.

Just have a look into the available boundary conditions and you will see!
