Multimode Waveguide Simulations Transient

This release allows you to mix wave ports and terminals in a transient waveguide simulation. You can add Modal Wave Ports, Modal Lumped Ports, Terminal Wave Ports, and Terminal Lumped Ports to a single simulation. The Excitations menu shows these ports as available.

Project Tree, Excitations short-cut menu. Assign option expanded, Port option expanded, Modal Lumped Port option selected.

For mixed modal/terminal in transient simulation, the modal Wave Port dialogs are the same as in frequency domain.

Waveport dialog.

You can mix each kind of wave and terminal ports with the others.

For a transient simulation with only terminal ports, the transient results in reporter are in Volts units, and you edit sources is in Volts units.

Edit Post Process Sources dialog.

For a transient simulation with all modal or mixed modal/terminal, the transient results in are in Watt units,

Transient Simulation results plot.

Consequently, for all modal, and mixed modal/terminal transient simulations, you edit sources in Watt units.

Edit Post Process Sources, Transient Fields tab, source unit listed as Watts.
