Computational Volume and its Parts

A computational volume or solution space is the volume within which HFSS explicitly calculates the electromagnetic fields.

A computational volume essentially consists of all the regions and objects inside which you want to determine the electromagnetic fields. The outermost surfaces of the computational volume are generally referred to as outer faces or outside boundaries. These faces are the outermost boundaries of the model, and HFSS explicitly calculates all fields within the solution space that these boundaries define. All field quantities that are calculated by HFSS outside the computational volume are derived from the fields within the solution space.
