I imported my material file using the &#8220;importmaterialdb&#8221; command in the code. I see that the Y-branch example uses this command: `eps_in = Material(name = &#8216;Si: non-dispersive&#8217;, mesh_order = 2)` to define the permittivity of the material for the optimization section. However, I don&#8217;t know how to define `eps_in` and `eps_out` for my anisotropic material. How can I determine which mesh order corresponds to the permittivity for my material?<\/div>\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>I appreciate your help.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-366987","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_subscription":["40604","4274"],"_bbp_author_ip":["184.24.96.207"]," _bbp_last_reply_id":["0"]," _bbp_likes_count":["0"],"_btv_view_count":["126"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_topic_id":["366987"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27796"],"_bbp_engagement":["4274","40604"],"_bbp_voice_count":["2"],"_bbp_reply_count":["2"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["367019"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["367019"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2024-05-16 02:22:11"]},"test":"fa146088ucf-edu"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/366987","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/366987\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=366987"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
