Converting a 3D Model to 2D

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

  1. Click Maxwell 3D > Create 2D Design.
    The Create 2D Design dialog box appears.
  2. Select the Coordinate System to be used for creating sections in the 3D model.
  3. Select the Section Plane within the chosen coordinate system. You can select XY, YZ, or ZX.
  4. Select the Geometry Mode to use for the target 2D design. You can select either XY or RZ.
  5. Click OK to create the 2D design.

The modeler creates a new design within the current project and generates the 2D model within the new design. All material properties and material assignments are copied to the new design.
