Hi all! I'm trying to find info on the incident plane wave excitement node and am coming up short. Specifically, I am looking at the difference between the total vs scattered option in the Incident Field Formulation option.

For example, why does the former allow an Infinite Ground Plane in the geometry where the latter does not? And why does the field look so different for each? (mag_E plotted in second pic at 45 degrees for incident field only of each case)

Incident+Scattered = Total

That's why if expected Total=0, Scattered should be opposite to Incident
