Does TRANS109 accept any relative permittivity other than 1.0?


In ANSYS Release 10.0, TRANS109 only accepts a relative permittivity of 1.0. The total permittivity is the relative permittivity multiplied by the free-space permittivity. The relative permittivity is specified using the MP,PERX command. The free-space permittivity is specified using the EMUNIT command. TRANS109 requires you to specify a value for the relative permittivity, however, it uses a relative permittivity value of 1.0, regardless of the value specified. So, for TRANS109 the total permittivity is always the free-space permittivity. If you want to increase the total permittivity, you need to modify the free-space permittivity value, rather than defining a different relative permittivity.
