Hello Community,

I would like to plot the Ex, Ey and Ez component of Total Vector E-field. I could plot it in 2D field reports but is it possible to get them in the 3D field overlays where it plots the Vector_E in arrows pointing.
If it is possible, can someone guide me how to?


Best Regards,
Surabhi

Hi, you can use filed calculator to create Ex, Ey and Ez and then plot them. Here is how you can do it: 1. Maxwell 3D->Fields->Calculator. 2. In field calculator page, Input->Quantity->E, Vector->Scal?->ScalX; Add... In Named Expression Window, type in name Ex. Repeat the same with Ey and Ez 3. Select a point, line, surface, or object in your Maxwell project where you want to create the plot. 4. Go to Maxwell3D or Maxwell2D and navigate to Fields > Fields > Named Expression. 5. In the dialog box that appears, select the derived quantity you want to plot (Ex, Ey, or Ez) and click OK.

Hello, 

When Vector - Scal? is selected and added to the calculator. It does not appear in Plot fields (Named Expression). It only appears when I try and plot 2D rectangular plot which is not what I need. 

I want the function of plotting Vector E field but for individual component. But for surity, do you feel comfortable sharing snaps of your solution?

 

Many Regards,
