HFSS15: Field Overlay Plots

In HFSS, field overlays are representations of basic or derived field quantities on surfaces or objects. The objects on which you plot the fields may be pre-existing parts of the model geometry or they may be objects that you draw in post-processing mode.

If you select a surface, HFSS will plot the field quantities on the surface. If you select an object, HFSS will plot the field quantities within the volume of the object.

You can choose to create a scalar plot or a vector plot of the fields. A scalar plot can use several user selectable plot types to illustrate the magnitude of field quantities on surfaces or volumes. A vector plot uses arrows to illustrate the magnitudes of the x-, y-, and z-components of field quantities.
