Model Depth Settings

Maxwell 2D allows you to set the model depth for 2D magnetostatic, transient, and eddy current solutions that have the Cartesian, XY Geometry Mode. The model depth setting is retained when switching between magnetostatic and transient and eddy solutions.

To set the model depth:

  1. Click Maxwell > Design Settings.
  2. Alternate method: In the Project Manager tree, right-click <Design_name>, and select Design Settings.

    The Design Settings window appears.

    Note: You can also view and set design settings by selecting the current design, and then in the Properties window, select the tab for the solver.
  3. On the Model Depth tab, enter the model depth value and select the desired unit of measure. The model depth value must be greater than zero. The default setting is 1 meter.

    Note: Changing the model depth invalidates the solution.
  4. Optionally, if you check Save as default, newly inserted designs will be set to use the specified model depth setting.
  5. When finished changing settings, click OK.
