       boundary is PEC and some is insulator. In the isulator portion, the normal fields are extrapolated, the tangential fields
       either set to the specified value or extrapolated. The region that is insulator is specified using an spatially dependent expression with the insulator being in the area where the value of the expression is greater than zero.
       The expressions are given for the low and high boundary on each axis, as listed below. The tangential fields are specified as
