4.12.1 Creation fields volume files

Please note that *.vi3 and *.ve3 can be very large (depends on number of saved field cells) so the saving and later handling/loading takes some time. In *.vi3 and *.ve3 by default whole model shape information is included at the end of the file. This shape can be quite large amount of information – typically the same as in the *.sh3 file. User can include only link to the existing sh3 instead of whole default file insertion by changing Save option Save Data check box – see picture below. The size of the file in bytes is not less than 16*NumberOfCells.

4.12.1.1 Creation fields volume files by manual operation

a. User can open Fields Window selecting menu or pressing Fields ribbon icon as shown below. (In version 2016 or older – View Fields is the corresponding operation)

b. By using floating menu (RMB- Right Mouse Button) in the 2D/3D Fields Distribution Window under Export->Save Volume Env./Inst. in the floating menu window that appears use Save Volume vi3/ve3 file (Envelope Volume export will be available if User choose Volume Envelope calculations first – Envelope->Vol Max (SHIFT-E) or Envelope->Vol Avr (SHIFT-O))

c. User can reduce volume (as well as size of the file) of component (here Ex in the picture) to save using following dialog or just press OK for maximum full volume.

4.12.1.2 Using Breakpoints and Tasker commands

User can set Breakpoints to the simulation (e.g. save fields volume at selected iteration (time step)) by selecting Configure->Breakpoints->Add->Save Commands

Below for Save Full Volume Instantaneous command user can set Iteration in which this command will be performed and the specific file name (in the example this is beefburg_5000.vi3).

Breakpoints mechanism can generate corresponding tasker file by using View ta3 or Save ta3.

Below you have text of the tasker file:

TemplateDV * Dynamic template.

ovenport_beefburg

automatic

10000 *iterations limit for sinus

2.45 *frequency matching

1 *within +-

RunIter * Simulation is performed for a specified number of iterations.

C:/Users/Public/QWED/v2021x64/qw_examp/QW_3D/Standard/Heating/Beefburg/beefburg.pa3

5000

Save_Full_Volume_Instantaneous * Instantaneous field of the chosen field component in chosen subcircuit beefburg

<PROJECTPATH>beefburg_5000.vi3

Continue * Continue Simulation.

User can insert many Breakpoints or extend tasker file according to his/her needs. For example:

TemplateDV * Dynamic template.

ovenport_beefburg

automatic

10000 *iterations limit for sinus

2.45 *frequency matching

1 *within +-

RunIter * Simulation is performed for a specified number of iterations.

C:/Users/Public/QWED/v2021x64/qw_examp/QW_3D/Standard/Heating/Beefburg/beefburg.pa3

5000

Save_Full_Volume_Instantaneous * Instantaneous field of the chosen field component in chosen subcircuit beefburg

<PROJECTPATH>beefburg_5000.vi3

Continue * Continue Simulation.

6000

Save_Full_Volume_Instantaneous * Instantaneous field of the chosen field component in chosen subcircuit beefburg

<PROJECTPATH>beefburg_6000.vi3

Continue * Continue Simulation.

File vi3 will be saved for 5000 iteration and for 6000 iteration for above tasker file. Those files can be used to test Field 3D Post Processing (F3DPost).
