We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

It is E cross conj(H) in near or farfield.

You will need first to get E field, and then use plane wave approximaiton, H=E/eta where eta is the impedance of the material usually it is n=1, and eta=120pi. or by farfield exact:  https://optics.ansys.com/hc/en-us/articles/360034914773-Calculating-magnetic-fields-in-far-field-projections

Please note that now farfieldexact can directly give H fields: https://optics.ansys.com/hc/en-us/articles/360034930733-farfieldexact3d-Script-command so you do not need to solve the discrete Maxwell equations.
