Pull request overview

Updates the Plate Simulation standalone documentation to explain when and how to use the LeroiAir-based forward modelling option (via the Use LeroiAir checkbox) when finite-volume resolution limits make thin plates challenging to simulate.

Changes:

  • Added a short explanation of thin-plate limitations in SimPEG finite-volume modelling and when LeroiAir is appropriate.
  • Documented the UI control (Use LeroiAir) and refreshed the related figure caption to mention the option.

💡 Add Copilot custom instructions for smarter, more guided reviews. Learn how to get started.

Oftentimes, the user would like to model a thin plate that might push the resolution limits of the finite volume
approach taken by SimPEG. In this case, the LeroiAir application may be used instead to model the secondary fields
from a rectangular prism with a known conductivity-thickness. In order to use the LeroiAir application for the forward
modelling, just select the ``Use LeroiAir`` checkbox.
