File

Use the File menu commands to manage Maxwell project files and printing options.

Edit

Use the Edit menu commands to modify the objects in the active model and undo and redo actions. The Edit menu changes, depending on the active window in the Design Area.

View

Use the View menu commands to display or hide desktop components and model objects, modify 2D and 3D Modeler window visual settings, and modify the model view. The ACT Extensions command opens the ACT Extensions window, which lets you work with ACT integration tools.

Project

Use the Project menu commands to insert a Maxwell or RMxprt design (as well as other Desktop designs) to the active project, define datasets, and define project variables.

Draw

Use the Draw menu to draw the elements that make up a model.

Modeler

Use the Modeler menu commands to import, export, and copy 2D Modeler files and 3D Modeler files; assign materials to objects; manage the 3D Modeler window’s grid settings; define a list of objects or faces of objects; control surface settings; perform Boolean operations on objects; and set the units for the active design.

Maxwell 3D, Maxwell 2D, or RMxprt

Use these menu commands to change solution type, assign boundaries and excitations, set up parameters, add analysis setups, set up Optimetrics, postprocess solutions, export equivalent circuits, define datasets, and other design tasks.

Tools

Use the Tools menu to modify the active project's material library, arrange the material libraries, run and record scripts, update project definitions from libraries, display options, and modify many of the software's default settings.

Window

Use the Window menu commands to rearrange the Modeler windows.

Help

Use the Help menu commands to access the help system and view the current Maxwell version information.
