Creating Reports

After Maxwell has generated a solution, all of the results for that solution are available for analysis. One of the ways you can analyze your solution data is to create a 2D or 3D report, or graphical representation, that displays the relationship between a design’s values and the corresponding analysis results. You create reports using either the Create Quick Report function, or the Create<type> Report functions. The Quick Report feature lets you select from a list of predefined categories (such as S-parameters) from which to create a rectangular plot.

For each solution type – Electrostatic, Magnetostatic, AC Conduction(2D only), DC Conduction, Eddy Current, Transient, Transient A-Phi Formulation (3D only), or Electric Transient(3D only) – the Results menus present a list of Create <type> Report options based on the solution data of direct interest for the design. For example, for the Magnetostatic solution type, the Results menu contains templates for Magnetostatic parameters and for Fields. These appear on the menus as Create Magnetostatic Report and Create Fields Report. Each of these Create <type> Report menu items includes a further cascading menu that lists the Display Types available for that report. For some reports you can modify the Display Type from the Properties for that Report.

If you have created custom report templates (for example, including your company name or other format changes), you can also create a report based on that template by selecting Maxwell 2D, Maxwell 3D, or RMxprt > Results > Report Templates > <templateName>. You can also access previously defined templates using Report2D > Report Templates > Apply Settings. You can save the properties for a modified report to provide the custom default settings for all new reports.

You can also use the Report2D > Export feature and select ReportData File (.rdat) format file which you can then select for Create Report from File.
