Context Section for Reports

In the Context section, make selections from the following field or fields, depending on the design and solution type.

1. Solution field with a drop down selection list. This lists the available solutions, whether sweeps or adaptive passes. The selections for HFSS Transient include Transient, and for Transient Network includes Spectral.
2. Domain field with a drop down selection list. Whether this field appears, and domains are listed, depends on the Solution type and the report <type> selected. For modal and terminal solution data reports, the domain can be Sweep or Time.

   Before you can examine the time domain, you must perform an Interpolating sweep for a driven solution (Modal or Terminal). If you select Time, the TDR Options button is enabled. Select it and follow the directions for time-domain plotting.

   For Near Field or Far Field report, for a Rectangular Contour Plot, the Domain can be Theta, Phi, or Sine Space. Before you can create a Sine Space plot, you must create the appropriate Radiation Setups. If you manually enter Phi or Theta component of a far field quantity when you using Az/El or El/Az far field infinite sphere definition, then the Report uses the Z axis of the Az/El or El/Az coordinate system definition as pole to calculate theta/phi component for rE.

3. Geometry field with a drop-down selection list. For field and radiated field reports, this applies the quantity to a geometry or radiated field setup. For SBR+ designs with an Incident Plane Wave and Monostatic RCS selected, the Geometry field is unavailable. In this case, the solver computs the scattered field in the direction of the plane wave.
4. Show field with a drop-down selection list for Differential pairs or Terminals. This field appears for designs using terminal solutions that have differential pairs defined. It lets you plot either differential pair data, or single-ended terminal data, or both in the same plot without having to disable or enable differential pairs under the Excitations heading in the Project Manager. Note that single-ended quantities are computed as if no differential pairs existed. So in the unlikely case of several terminals where only a subset is combined into pairs, the results may not be as expected.

   

5. Derivative field with a drop-drown selection list of none, all, and specific variables for which you specified Use on the Derivatives tab of the solution setup. You can use derivatives in some Optimetrics situations, Far Field reports, non-Port excitations including incident wave, linked field, voltage source, current source, and magnetic bias with the Derivative Tuning feature in the Reporter.
6. A Sources combo box appears in the Reporter when you have specified at least one source in the Edit Sources dialog box. See Specifying Source Contexts for Creating Radiated Field Reports. For a usage example, see: User Defined Solution for MIMO Calculations.
