Converting 2D XY Model to 3D

To create a 3D design from an existing 2D XY design:

  1. Click Maxwell 2D > Create 3D Design.

    2. The Sweep Along Vector dialog box appears.

  2. Enter a value in the Length along z-axis box to obtain a swept length of the model.
  3. Choose the desired Dimension of the sweep distance entered from the drop-down menu.
  4. Click OK to create the 3D design.

The modeler creates a new design within the current project and generates the 3D model within the new design. All material properties and material assignments are copied to the new design.
