Setting Field Overlay Plot Defaults

Each new field plot uses the default plot settings specified in the Set Plot Defaults dialog box.

To modify the default plot settings:

  1. If a plot folder has not been created, click Field Overlays in the Project Manager.
  2. Click HFSS> Fields> Set Plot Defaults.

    The Set Plot Defaults dialog box appears.

  3. Select the solution to plot from the Solution drop-down menu.
  4. Select the plot folder in which new plots will be stored from the Quantity type drop-down menu. Choose one of the following options:

    New Folder

    Each new plot will be stored in a separate folder in the project tree.

    Automatic

    Each new plot will be stored in a folder determined by HFSS as the most appropriate based on the plotted field quantity. For example, all surface magnitude E plots will be stored in the same folder.

    An existing folder

    Select the existing folder in which you want to store new plots.


    Note:

    Plots stored in the same folder will use the same color key. The Auto scale setting will be based on the maximum field solution value present in a plot.

  5. Under Intrinsic Variables, specify the frequency and phase angle at which the field quantity is evaluated.
  6. Click OK.
