how to plot electrical potential profile along x and y axis?

How can we plot our results profile be it voltage or current against x or y axis in the geometry?

Thanks,
Rabia

Dear Rabia,

You can do this in the Results part of your model. Make a 1D Plot group by right-clicking Results. Then add a "Line graph" by right-clicking the new 1D Plot group. Select the boundary and quantity that you are interested in, and there you go.

If you want to plot along a random line in your geometry, then go to Results, and right-click Data sets => "2D Cut Line" (or 3D if you're in 3D). Now enter the coordinates to make the line, press "plot" at the top to see if the line is where you want it.

Then, left-click the 1D Plot group, and in "data set", select "Line plot 1".

You can find more info in the manual.

Best regards,

Ruud
