In case Maxwell Field Simulator has been used to generate the maps, identifying the mesh directory is recommended. The contents is optional for all other types of data written by Maxwell programs.
A warning is issued if the file contains other data than the declared contents.
Currently, the following contents types are recognised:
Name | Used to compute |
---|---|
B-FIELD (=MAGNETIC-FIELD) |
Drift lines |
ELECTRIC-FIELD |
Drift lines, various other plots |
D-FIELD |
Epsilon by comparing E and D |
MATERIAL (=D-FIELD) |
Drift line termination |
MESH |
Mesh structure of Maxwell Field Simulator |
MODEL |
Problem domain in Maxwell 2D SV |
BACKGROUND |
Model vs background, Maxwell 11 |
POTENTIAL (=VOLTAGE) |
Contour maps |
WEIGHTING-FIELD |
Induced signals |
These files are usually written by other programs than Garfield, and they therefore do not follow internally the Garfield format conventions. For notes on the way dataset names should be supplied to Garfield, see the guidelines for Garfield files.
For recipes for making these files, refer to the file format descriptions.
In the absence of a match, e.g. because no solids have been entered, all signals on the weighting field map are classified as cross induced. Such signals are only computed if the CROSS-INDUCED option is active.
No label should be assigned to other fields than the weighting fields.
[By default, the label "S" is assigned to weighting field maps, which makes these maps are part of the initial, default, selection.]
The layout of the field maps for the various Maxwell versions is so similar that Garfield can only rarely tell which version has been used. As of version 11, the situation is even worse in that the layout of version 9 and version 11 files is identical, but the node numbering sequence is different. It is therefore advisable to systematically specify the format explicitly.
Recipes for creating field maps with these programs are given in the sub-topics.
