Plotting Standard Field Quantities

Maxwell makes numerous quantities available for field plotting derived directly from the field solution. The quantities available depend upon the solution type (magnetostatic, eddy current, etc.), on the design type (2D or 3D) and other parameters such as the use of lossy materials. The chart below lists possible solution quantities available when using Maxwell 2D > Fields > Fields or Maxwell 3D > Fields > Fields.
