from menus and can be plotted a number of ways. For instance, you can display a plot of<br />
equipotential contours or you can graph potential as a function of distance.<br />
• Use the calculators. The post processor allows you to take curls, divergences, integrals,<br />
and cross and dot products to derive special quantities of interest.<br />
The commands shown on the Executive Commands menu must be chosen in the sequence in<br />
which they appear. For example, you must first create a geometric model with the Define Model<br />
command before you specify material characteristics for objects with the Setup Materials command.<br />
A check mark appears on the menu next to the completed steps.<br />
These steps are summarized in the following flowchart:<br />
1-4 Introduction<br />
Select solver and drawing type.<br />
Draw geometric model and<br />
(optionally) identify grouped objects.<br />
Assign material properties.<br />
Assign boundary conditions and sources.<br />
Compute other<br />
quantities during<br />
solution?<br />
No<br />
Generate solution.<br />
Yes<br />
Set up solution criteria and<br />
(optionally) refine the mesh.<br />
Inspect solutions, view solution<br />
information, display field plots, and<br />
manipulate basic field quantities.<br />
Request that force, torque,<br />
capacitance, inductance,<br />
admittance, impedance, flux<br />
linkage, conductance, or<br />
current flow be computed<br />
during the solution process.
