Drawing a Plane

A plane object is a cutplane through the problem region. You can plot fields or perform field computations on its surface. Planes are always considered non-model objects by the modeler.

1. Click Draw>Plane.

2. Select the origin in one of the following ways:

• Click the point.

• Type the point’s coordinates in the text boxes in the status bar.

To delete the selected point and start over, press ESC.

3. Select a normal point in one of the following ways:

• Click the point.

• Type the coordinates of the point relative to the origin in the dX, dY, and dZ boxes, where d is the distance from the previously selected point.

The plane is created. Its center point is located at the origin you specified and oriented perpendicular to the normal point you specified. The new plane is listed under Planes in the history tree.
