Description

This subroutine retrieves the a and g parameters of a power-law GRIN material.

 

 

Syntax

GetConstantsPowerLawGrinMaterial(  matNode, alpha, g )

 

 

Parameters

matNode As Long

Node number of the power-law grin material node being queried.

 

alpha As Double

After the subroutine executes, this parameter contains the alpha constant (fiber core radius).

 

g As Double

After the subroutine executes, this parameter contains the g coefficient.

 

 

Example

The example below demonstrates how to get the a and g constants of an existing power-law GRIN material.

 

Sub Main

 

    Dim matNode As Long

    matNode = FindMaterial( "Custom Power Law GRIN" )

 

    Dim alpha As Double, g As Double

    GetConstantsPowerLawGRINMaterial( matNode, alpha, g )

 

    Print "Material: " & Chr(9) & GetMaterialName( matNode )

    Print "Alpha: " & Chr(9) & alpha

    Print "G: " & Chr(9) & g

 

End Sub
