Max Command

Computes the maximum of a scalar field quantity on a line, surface, or volume. Two options are available:

Value	Finds the magnitude of the maximum value of the field.
Position	Finds the point where the maximum field value occurs. You can then: Plot the maximum field at the point. Plot field quantities at the point. Load the point into the calculator. Change the point's location.

To compute the maximum field value:

1. Load a field quantity into the calculator, and perform any necessary operations on it. Keep the following in mind:
   • You cannot find the maximum value of a vector quantity. Therefore, make sure that the result is a scalar.
   • Before computing the maximum value of a complex quantity, you must find the real part of the quantity using the Cmplx/Real or Cmplx/AtPhase commands.
2. Load a point, line, or volume into the calculator using one of the Geometry commands.
3. Do one of the following:
   • Choose Max/Value to compute the maximum field value on the geometry.
   • Choose Max/Position to identify the point at which this value occurs.

Use the Eval command to display the actual maximum field value or the coordinates of the point where it occurs.
