I am conducting TD-DFT experiments using ORCA to calculate electronic transitions of a large system, ca. 350 atoms. The results show many meaningless transitions with oscillator strengths < 0.001, which uses up NRoot very quickly.

Does anyone know how to impose a lower bound on oscillator strength in ORCA to prevent the calculation of meaningless transitions?

In Ansys HFSS, how do I replace all instances of a Local Variable within a Design with another variable?

I have created a fairly complex antenna that has a parameterized wire radius (wire_r), however I would like to change the name of the variable to better reflect its purpose (e.g. wire_r_cu). Since...

In Ansys HFSS, is there a method of creating an oscillating (AC) magnetic bias, without resonant peaks, within a non-magnetic substrate, e.g. Air?

A loop sniffer probe antenna for HF/UHF is being developed and we'd like to apply a known, constant across frequency AC B-Field source to the region within the substrate where the probe exists (in...
