Hi,<\/p>\n

I have digitized a metallic planar particle distribution from an SEM image. The particles are randomly distributed. Whole structure is so large to simulate so I want to simulate a smaller portion and use a periodic BC. As we can see from the attached image, boundaries (have to) intersect some of the particles (spheres). I know that these sliced pieces will create anomalies but as the area of the section grows I believe it will yield a realistic result. When I use FDTD I can use periodic BC which intersects with particles; however with DGTD I recieve "Failed to match periodic face" error. Is it possible to use a periodic boundary condition which is intersecting a particle (whose other half does not match at the other boundary)?<\/p>\n

Kind regards,<\/p>\n

Refet<\/p>\n
