Is there any way to modify the ReadOnlyProperties in AI-Based analysis

I was exploring the AIAntenna feature.. Is there a way to make substrate properties tunable in AIAntenna models in MATLAB Antenna Toolbox, or any recommended workarounds for including substrate variation in AI-based antenna design workflows?

I'm hoping someone with knowledge can answer your question in a more useful way than I could possibly offer. So I'm looking forward to seeing an answer. My gut says no, knowing nothing about the tools, or how they are written. But from what you have said, it sounds like it would take you to hack the code - always a bad and dangerous idea, unless the hacker knows enough about the code and how it works to write it themselves. And in that case, you could just rewrite the necessary modules to do as you want.

Anyway, if there is not a viable solution, you can always send in a feature request to MathWorks, asking for this capability.

Good luck!

As far as I understand, you can indirectly modify them by prescribing the parameters from which they are derived.

Hi!

I understand you want to modify the ‘ReadOnlyProperties’ of AIAntenna but the official documentation https://www.mathworks.com/help/antenna/ref/aiantenna.patch-properties.html suggests these properties are read only so you cannot modify them or make them tunable. However, there is a workaround possible for this.

You can refer to this ‘exportAntenna’ function https://www.mathworks.com/help/antenna/ref/em.ai.aiantenna.exportantenna.html where the output received would be an antenna objects whose properties can be modified.

Hope this helps!
