CST2013: 2D Vector Plot Special Settings

2D/3D Plot: Properties Specials

Scaling frame

Changes the maximum to which the plot is scaled.

No clamp: The fields are scaled according  to the current maximum of the 2D field.

Clamp size/Clamp size and color: If you choose a maximum smaller than the field maximum, the field values greater than your chosen maximum are clamped (plotted as if they were equal to the chosen maximum). If you choose to only clamp the size, you will get arrows of maximum size with different colors depending on the field value.

Maximum: If you choose a maximum greater than the field maximum, size and / or color are scaled down, as if the field maximum were the chosen maximum plot quality.

Clamp to 3D maximum:  If activated the overall field maximum is used.

dB scaling: Check here to get a log. dB plot.

3D Max = 0dB/ 2D  Max = 0dB/ dB[unit]/ …: Set here the desired logarithmic unit; i.e.,if you set the "3D Max = 0dB"("2D Max = 0dB")  3D(2D) maximum is scaled to 0 dB and  if you set dBm[unit], you will get 0 dBm[unit] for a field of 1e-3[unit].

Range [dB]: Set here the range in dB you want to be plotted.

Max. number of arrows frame

Defines a maximum number of arrows that will be visualized when setting the Sparse/Dense slider from 2D Vector Plot Dialog to maximum density.

Distribution of arrows frame

Adaptive: The arrow distribution is calculated according to the perspective. The chosen amount of arrows will always be visible in the viewing window (and none outside) and thus adapt to camera movement (zoom, translation, rotation).

Note: Since the calculation of adaptive arrows may take some time, the calculation progress will be displayed on top of the screen.

The 'Freeze arrows' option prevents the continuous calculation of adaptive arrows and the arrow distribution at the moment of the 'freezing' is displayed, regardless of the camera movement.

OK

Takes the current settings and closes the dialog box.

Cancel

Closes the dialog box without performing any further action.
