Quantity Command

The Quantity command loads a specified field quantity into the top register of the calculator. Phasors in the calculator are peak phasors. The Poynting command in the calculator therefore implements the Poynting vector for peak phasors. Calculations which compute either average or instantaneous time domain quantities must adhere to the peak phasor conventions. Transient solution types display the transient quantities (with "_t" appended).

Temp	The resultant scalar temperature result, available from Thermal solutions.
Heat_Flux	A derived scalar quantity indicating the rate of heat flow on a per unit area basis. It is computed from the temperature field for Thermal solutions.
Surface_Loss_Density	This quantity concerns thermal excitations imported from the surfaces in another design. The electromagnetic losses are due to inherent inefficiencies in the materials, and these become a source of heat in the thermal solution.
Volume_Loss_Density	This quantity concerns thermal excitations imported from the volumes in another design. The electromagnetic losses are due to inherent inefficiencies in the materials, and these become a source of heat in the thermal solution.
Displacement	The displacement vector results from modal solutions. The displacement direction and magnitude at one point on the model relative to another point demonstrates the shape of the vibration mode. However, the absolute magnitudes of the displacement are not meaningful because they are not scaled to any specific excitation. Rather, the displacement magnitudes are arbitrary for natural frequency (modal) solutions.
