Setting Field Plot Defaults

Each new field plot uses the default plot settings specified in the Set Plot Defaults dialog box.

To modify the default plot settings:

  1. If a plot folder has not been created, click Field Overlays in the Project Manager tree.
  2. Click Maxwell 3D or Maxwell 2D and select Fields > Set Plot Defaults.

    3. The Set Plot Defaults dialog box appears.

  3. Select the solution to plot from the Solution drop-down menu.
  4. Select the plot folder in which new plots will be stored from the Plot Folder drop-down menu. Select from one of the following options:

    New Folder

    Each new plot is stored in a separate folder in the Project Manager tree.

    Automatic

    Each new plot is stored in a folder determined by Maxwell as the most appropriate based on the plotted field quantity. For example, all surface magnitude E plots are stored in the same folder.

    An existing folder

    Select the existing folder in which you want to store new plots.


    5. Note: Plots stored in the same folder use the same color key. The Auto scale setting is based on the maximum field solution value present in a plot.
  5. Under Intrinsic Variables, specify the frequency and phase angle at which the field quantity is evaluated.
  6. Click OK.
