HFSS15: Assigning Material Property Types

Each material property can be assigned one of the following material property types:

If the material property is anisotropic, its characteristics are defined by its anisotropy tensor. You must define three diagonals for anisotropic permittivity, electric loss tangent, conductivity, permeability, and magnetic loss tangent. Each diagonal represents a tensor of your model along an axis.

These tensors are relative to the coordinate system specified as the object’s Orientation property. By specifying different orientations, several objects can share the same anisotropic material but be oriented differently.
