Anisotropic Transition Boundary Condition

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

I am trying to model an anisotropic transition boundary condition with the wave optics module, frequency domain. When I define a tensor for epsilon r, the coordinate system seems to be different than the global coordinate system. That is when I place a high imaginary number in what I thought was the zz position I get high absorption in the x direction instead of the z direction of my simulation. Is the surface boundary definition of the anisotropic tensor coordinate system different than the global coordinate system?
