Hi,
I am currently using HFSS to perform some simulations and wish to obtain the numerical value of fields within a slice through the centre of a structure. For this reason I have defined a plane which bisects the model. From what I understand there are three methods by which one may export the field values (as a csv or excel file):
1) by generating a data table in the report editor,
2) by right clicking on the field plot,
3) by using the field calculator
When I try to use the report editor to plot the fields I select the fields report type and am then presented with three categories of data that may be plotted: variables, output variables and calculator expressions. Unfortunately the first category does not contain any relevant variables, whilst the second and third are empty.
For this reason I obtain the fields by using the overlay plot function (and not the report editor). Unfortunately when I right click on the field plot I do not see any option for exporting the raw data.
Finally in the “fields calculator” I click on the quantity button and select E, and then the geometry button and select my bisecting surface. I then click on the Eval button and see the error message “the stack contents are incompatible with the current operation”. In the discussions which I have read on the HFSS forum many people discuss exporting solution data to a grid from the field calculator. However I’m not sure how they define this grid.
I would be most grateful for some advice on the correct procedure for exporting the fields
Kind Regards,
James
