/* Discretizing the Physical Structure in EM.Illumina */
Since [[EM.Illumina]] is a surface simulator, only the exterior surface of solid CAD objects is discretized, as the interior volume is not taken into account in a PO analysis. By contrast, surface CAD objects are assumed to be double-sided. In other words, the default PO mesh of a surface object consists of coinciding double cells, one representing the upper or positive side and the other representing the lower or negative side. This may lead to a very large number of cells. [[EM.Illumina]]'s mesh generator has settings that allow you to treat all mesh cells as double-sided or all single-sided. You can do that in the Mesh Settings dialog by checking the boxes labeled '''All Double-Sided Cells''' and '''All Single-Sided Cells'''. This is useful when your project workspace contains well-organized and well-oriented surface CAD objects only. In the single-sided case, it is very important that all the normals to the cells point towards the source. Otherwise, your surfaces fall in the shadow region, and no currents will be computed on them. By checking the box labeled '''Reverse Normal''', you instruct [[EM.Illumina]] to reverse the direction of the normal vectors globally at the surface of all the cells.
