EM Fields in Q3D Extractor
Q3D Extractor can visualize EM fields on non-model lines, rectangles, boxes, and spheres. Once you have set up a field, you can view EM Fields reports or plot the field overlay.
In the Solve Setup window, you must select the Save Fields option. See: Specifying Solution Settings in Q3D Extractor.
To set up EM fields, access the EM Fields setup window one of two ways:
- In the Project Manager, right-click EM Fields > Insert EM Fields Setup > [Field Type].
- Select Q3D Extractor > EM Fields > Insert EM Fields Setup > [Field Type].
