Monitor on Faces

Simulation: Monitors Monitor on Entity Monitor on Face

This dialog box gives you the opportunity to define 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 monitors by selecting them in the navigation tree.

 

Please note that these monitors can be defined only on model faces, i.e., picked faces of solids, sheets, hybrids or coils. Faces which were created from picked model faces are ignored.

 

Name and type definition

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

Automatic labeling: This check button enables or disables the automatic labeling for the defined monitor. The automatically generated label consists of  the selected monitor type, including an incremented number.

Type: This drop-down list offers different monitors. The currently available monitor types allow magnetic flux observations.

Invert orientation: Each face inherits an orientation from the underlying structure. This orientation is indicated by arrows in the monitor preview (select the monitor in the navigation tree). It will influence the solver result computed for this monitor. Activate this checkbox to invert the orientation.

OK

Accepts your settings and leaves the dialog box.

Cancel

Closes this dialog box without performing any further action.
