REGION

Specify a mesh region.

SYNOPSIS

region
( silicon | oxide | nitride | poly | gas | oxynitr | photores | aluminum | gaas )
xlo = string ylo = string xhi = string yhi = string

DESCRIPTION

This statement is used to specify the material of rectangles in a rectangular mesh. Region statements should follow line statements. Every element must be given some material, so at least one region statement is required for each rectangular mesh.

silicon | oxide | nitride | poly | gas | oxynitr | photores | aluminum | gaas
The material being specified.

xlo, ylo, xhi, yhi
The bounds of the rectangle being specified. The string value should be one of the tags created in a preceding line statement.

EXAMPLES

region silicon xlo=left xhi=right ylo=surf yhi=back
This line would make the entire mesh silicon (from the example on the line page).

BUGS

None.
