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:
|
To compute the maximum field value:
- 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 convert it to a scalar quantity using the Cmplex/Real or Cmplex/AtPhase commands.
- Load a point, line, or volume into the calculator using one of the Geometry commands.
- Do one of the following:
- Click Max/Value to compute the maximum field value on the geometry.
- Click 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.
