Workspace Method scat_meta_arrayAddTmatrix
Description
This method adds particle meta data to the workspace variable
scat_meta_array.
One set of meta data is created and added to the array for each combination of
maximum diameter and aspect ratio in the GINs diamter_max_grid and aspect_ratio_grid. The size of scat_meta_array
and hence the usage has been extended. For that reason, a short
summary below tells which input parameters are required for certain further
calculations.
String[description] Not used for any particular calculations
String[material] Used for PND calculations

Numeric[particle_type] Used for scattering calculations
Numeric[density] Used for PND calculations
Vector[diameter_max_grid] Used for both scattering and PND calculations
Vector[aspect_ratio_grid] Used for scattering calculations and PND calculations
Vector[scat_f_grid] Used for scattering calculations
Vector[scat_T_grid] Used for scattering calculations
Tensor3[complex_refr_index] Used for scattering calculations
