Plotting Derived Field Quantities

Derived field quantities are field quantity representations that have been deduced from the original field solution using the Fields Calculator.

1. Select a point, line, surface, or object to create the plot on or within.
2. On the HFSS menu, or right-click on the Field Overlays icon in the Project tree, and point to Fields>NamedExpression.
3. Select the derived quantity you want to plot, and then click OK.

The Create Field Plot dialog box appears.

4. To specify a name for the plot other than the default, select SpecifyName, and then type a new name in the Name text box.
5. Select the solution to plot from the Solution drop-down menu.
6. To specify a folder other than the default in which to store the plot, select Specify Folder, and then click a folder in the Plot Folder drop-down menu, or type the name you wish to use. Plot folders are listed under Field Overlays in the project tree.
7. Under Intrinsic Variables, select the frequency and phase angle at which the field quantity is evaluated.
8. Select the derived field quantity to plot from the Quantity list.
9. Select the volume, or region, in which the field will be plotted from the In Volume list.

This selection enables you to limit plots to the intersection of a volume and the selected object.

10. Click Done.

The derived field quantity you created in the Fields Calculator is plotted on the surfaces or objects you selected. The new plot is listed in the project tree under Field Overlays.
