Required, mutually exclusive parameters
- PROPERTY
-
Set this parameter equal to the name of the IMPEDANCE PROPERTY option defining the table of impedance values to be used.
- NONREFLECTING
-
Set NONREFLECTING=PLANAR (default) to specify the impedance corresponding to that of a normal incidence plane wave.
Set NONREFLECTING=IMPROVED to specify the impedance corresponding to that of a plane wave at an arbitrary angle of incidence. This parameter can be used only for transient dynamics.
Set NONREFLECTING=CIRCULAR to specify a radiation condition appropriate for a circular boundary in two dimensions or a right circular cylinder in three dimensions.
Set NONREFLECTING=SPHERICAL to specify a radiation condition appropriate for a spherical boundary.
Set NONREFLECTING=ELLIPTICAL to specify a radiation condition appropriate for an elliptical boundary in two dimensions or a right elliptical cylinder in three dimensions.
Set NONREFLECTING=PROLATE SPHEROIDAL to specify a radiation condition appropriate for a prolate spheroidal boundary.
Optional parameters
- OP
-
Set OP=MOD (default) to modify existing impedances or to define additional impedances.
Set OP=NEW if all existing impedances applied to the model should be removed. To remove only selected impedances, use OP=NEW and respecify all impedances that are to be retained.

Surface name.
Data line to define an absorbing boundary impedance for NONREFLECTING=CIRCULAR or NONREFLECTING=SPHERICAL
- First (and only) line

, the radius of the circle or sphere defining the absorbing boundary surface.
Data line to define an absorbing boundary impedance for NONREFLECTING=ELLIPTICAL or NONREFLECTING=PROLATE SPHEROIDAL
- First (and only) line
Surface name.
The semimajor axis, a, of the ellipse or prolate spheroid defining the surface. a is 1/2 of the maximum distance between two points on the ellipse or spheroid, analogous to the radius of a circle or sphere.
The eccentricity, , of the ellipse or prolate spheroid. The eccentricity is the square root of one minus the square of the ratio of the minor axis, b, to the major axis, a: .
Global X-coordinate of the center of the radiating surface.
Global Y-coordinate of the center of the radiating surface.
Global Z-coordinate of the center of the radiating surface.
X-component of the direction cosine of the major axis of the radiating surface. The components of this vector need not be normalized to unit magnitude.
Y-component of the direction cosine of the major axis of the radiating surface.
Z-component of the direction cosine of the major axis of the radiating surface.
