Create a Loss Per-Unit Volume Variable for Maxwell

Use EnSight's Calculator to define a loss per-unit-volume variable for Maxwell's 2D model.

  1. In the Parts pane, multi-select all four of Maxwell's regions.

  2. In the feature icon bar, click Calculator ( ).

    The Calculator tool box dialog opens.

  3. Click Build your own functions ( ).

  4. For the Variable name field, type in Loss_per_unit_volume__ES.

    (For the sake of consistency, this tutorial is following System Coupling's naming conventions for EnSight variables.)

  5. Create an expression that divides Maxwell's per-unit-area by the model depth.

    1. Under Variable, click Loss_per_unit_area__ES.

    2. In the calculator, click the / (division) button.

    3. Using the calculator, type in the model depth, 0.08382.

  6. Click Evaluate for selected parts.

  7. Click Close to exit the dialog.

The new Loss_per_unit_volume__ES variable is shown under Scalars in the Variables pane.
