Hello.

I would apply an anisotropic material index in the model setup script.

I tested and verified that indeed it does not work. Please create a dielectric material if you want to use script to set.

Hi,after discussion with development team, for anisotropic material you have to use a string. For example:
setnamed("rectangle","index","1.1; 1.2; 1.3");
?getnamed("rectangle","index");
1.1; 1.2; 1.3
It is a little confusion since for isotropic index you can assign numeric value.
However, the ultimate data inside this tab is a string, whether you assign a numeric data or a string.
It has some evolution along the upgrading . Initially assigning numeric data did not work. However because it is the most common material compared to anisotropic, the numeric assignment is allowed.
I hope this clarifies this issue.
