CST2013: 3D Field Monitor

Simulation: MonitorsField Monitor

This dialog box gives you the opportunity to define field monitors for transient simulations. You might need these monitors to obtain additional information on the electromagnetic field distribution inside your structure. After a calculation, you can observe your field monitors by selecting them in the navigation tree.

Name and type definition

Name: Displays the name for the field monitor either as a user input or automatically generated.

Automatic labeling: This check button enables or disables the automatic labeling for the defined field monitor. The automatically generated label consists of  the selected monitor type, including either the specified frequency or time sample settings of the frequency or time monitor, respectively.

Type: This drop-down list offers a variety of field monitors. The currently available monitor types allow B-Field, H-Field, E-Field, J-Field, Material, Temperature and Heat Flow-Density observations.

Monitor settings

The time monitor records the chosen field type at several equidistant time samples.

Start time: Enter here the start time for the time monitoring.

Step width: Enter here the desired step width for the time monitoring. Together with start and end time this value determines the full number of recorded time samples. Note that time monitors possibly need a great amount of disk memory if the step width is chosen too small.

End time: Activating this check box offers the possibility to define a specific end time for the recording. If it is switched off, the recording will continue up to the end of the calculation.

OK

Accepts your settings and leaves the dialog box.

Cancel

Closes this dialog box without performing any further action.
