NearField3DPlot

A near field 3D result.

Example

app = pf.GetApplication()
app:NewProject()
app:OpenFile(FEKO_HOME..[[/shared/Resources/Automation/Example_Expanded.fek]])    
firstActive3DView = app.Views[1]

    -- Add near field to the Plots collection of the 3D view

nearFieldPlot = firstActive3DView.Plots:Add(app.Models[1].Configurations[1].NearFields[1])

    -- Adjust plot type and axis values

nearFieldPlot.PlotType = nearFieldPlot.PlotTypesAvailable[3]

printlist(nearFieldPlot.FixedAxes)
printlist(nearFieldPlot:GetFixedAxisAvailableValues("Y position"))
nearFieldPlot:SetFixedAxisValue("Y position", 2, "mm")

Inheritance

The NearField3DPlot object is derived from the Result3DPlot object.

Property List

Arrows
The near field plot arrows properties. (Read only Arrows3DFormat)
AxisNames
The names of all the axes on the ResultPlot. (Read only List of string)
Contours
The near field plot contours properties. (Read only Contours3DFormat)
DataSource
The object that is the data source for this plot. (Read/Write ResultData)
FixedAxes
The list of fixed axes for this plot. The fixed axes depend on the chosen PlotType as well as the contents of the ResultData object. The value for a specific fixed axis can be queried and set with the GetFixedAxisValue() and SetFixedAxisValue() methods. (Read only List of string)
IsoSurface
The near field isosurface properties. (Read only IsoSurface3DFormat)
Label
The object label. (Read/Write string)
Legend
The 3D plot legend properties. (Read only Plot3DLegendFormat)
LocalCoordAxes
The near field local coordinate axis properties. (Read only Axes3DFormat)
PlotType
The type of plot to be displayed, e.g., 3D Surface, Phi cut, Theta cut, XY surface. (Read/Write string)
PlotTypesAvailable
The list of available plot types. (Read only List of string)
Quantity
The near field plot quantity properties. (Read only NearFieldQuantity)
RequestPoints
The near field request points properties. (Read only RequestPoints3DFormat)
Type
The object type string. (Read only string)
Visible
Specifies whether the plot must be shown or hidden. (Read/Write boolean)
Visualisation
The near field visualisation properties. (Read only NearField3DFormat)

Method List

Delete ()
Delete the plot.
Duplicate ()
Duplicate the plot. (Returns a Result3DPlot object.)
ExportIsoSurfaceToSTL (filename string)
Export a near field isosurface to an STL file.
GetAxisUnit (axis string)
Returns the SI unit of the specified axis. (Returns a string object.)
GetFixedAxisAvailableValues (axis string)
Returns the list of available values for the specified fixed axis. (Returns a List of string object.)
GetFixedAxisValue (axis string)
Returns the current value for the specified fixed axis. (Returns a string object.)
GetProperties ()
Returns a table of properties representing the state of the object. The properties table can be used with the SetProperties method to change multiple properties of the object in one step. (Returns a table object.)
SetFixedAxisValue (axis string, numvalue number, unit string)
Set the fixed axis to the specified value.
SetFixedAxisValue (axis string, strvalue string)
Set the fixed axis to the specified value.
SetProperties (properties table)
Modifies the state of the object using the provided table of properties. This method is used to modify multiple properties of the object in a single step.
Store ()
Stores a copy of the plot. (Returns a Result3DPlot object.)
