=== Grouping Objects By Surface Type ===
EM.Illumina organizes physical objects by their surface type. A regular Any object in EM.Illumina is assumed to be made of one of the three surface types:
# '''Perfect Electric Conductor (PEC) ''' # '''Perfect Magnetic Conductor (PMC) ''' # '''Generalized Impedance Surface'''
[[PO Module]] EM.Illumina can only handle surface and [[Solid Objects|solid CAD objects]]. No line or [[Curve Objects|curve objects]] are allowed in the project workspace; or else, they will be ignored during the PO simulation. You can define several PEC, PMC or impedance surface groups with different colors and impedance values (for the last type). All the objects created and drawn under a group share the same color and other properties.  A new surface group can be defined by simply right clicking on one of the three '''PEC''', '''PMC''' or '''Impedance Surface''' items in the '''Physical Structure''' section of the Navigation Tree navigation tree and selecting '''Insert New PEC...''', '''Insert New PMC...''', or '''Insert New Impedance Surface...''' from the contextual menu. A dialog for setting up the group properties opens up. In this dialog you can change the name of the group or its color. In the case of a surface impedance group, you can set the values for the real and imaginary parts of the '''Surface Impedance''' in Ohms.
