describe anisotropic materials in scuff-em #140

Closed 1LuLu closed 7 years ago

1LuLu commented 7 years ago

Hi, Is it possible to use the matrix to describe anisotropic materials in scuff-em? If possible, how to achieve it？ I now know how to describe isotropic material in .scuffgeo.

best thank you in advance.

HomerReid commented 7 years ago

No, the surface-integral formulation implemented by SCUFF-EM does not allow handling of anisotropic materials. However, anisotropic and continuously spatially varying materials are supported by my BUFF-EM volume-integral solver.

Feel free to ask more questions, or close the issue if satisfied.

Thank you very much, I'll close the issue and try to use BUFF-EM.
