"fake" interface problems

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hi, all,
I have noticed that if I have "fake" interface (interface between two optically same domains) in scattering harmonic propagation RF module with continuity (default) BC, I get different situation compared when there is no interface, just one domain.
What is the catch?
Thanks

Does the mesh change at all between the 2 situations? I have found that a slight change in the mesh geometry will cause noticeable differences between two models, even if physically speaking the two models are identical. Now this is not always the case, only if your results are very sensitive to changes in the mesh or if you are trying to be extremely precise with your results.
