Calculating the Max Value of a Field Quantity in a Volume

Description

This recipe permits you to calculate the Max electrical field (value or position) in a volume object.

Usage Examples

This calculation could be used to determine the Max (or Min) value (or position) of electrical field in a resonant cavity or dielectric object. Find out the hot (or quiet) spot value and location.

Prerequisites

The volume (or surface) object within which the Max function is to be performed must already exist before the computation can be completed. If the volume (or surface) for Max function consists of the volume of several drawing objects, you first create a single list entry representing their combined volumes using Modeler>List>Create>Object (or Face) List.
