Post Processing for Complicated Models

Under Tools>Options>General Options, on the Miscellaneous Options tab...

• Turn off "Dynamically update postprocessing data during edits". This will disable expensive updating of existing reports and plots.
• Turn off "Update reports on file open". This will disable expensive updating of reports and plots when opening a project.

Under HFSS>Fields>Modify Plot Attributes, on the Plots tab…

• Set Plot Quality to Coarse, and save as default. This will make field plots much faster. The fields will not be as smoothly approximated within each tetrahedron, but this should not be noticeable on very large meshes.
