2.7     Power Available

If the current post-processing is Power Available post-processing, the  button in Results tab of QW-Simulator opens Results window with Power Available results of this current post-processing. The current post-processing can be changed with  button in Run tab of QW-Simulator and Run->Next Postprocessing command from QW-Simulator main menu. The name of the current post-processing is displayed in the status bar of the Results window.

The  button in Results tab of QW-Simulator Ribbon and Results->Power Available Results command from QW-Simulator main menu invoke Results window with Power Available results.

If there is more than 1 Power Available post-processing, the  button will change to  and the list of Power Available post-processings will be displayed after pressing the button:

Pressing any of available commands, except for the Show all command, opens Results window with Power Available results for specified post-processing.

Pressing the Show all command opens Power Available Postprocessings dialogue for choosing Power Available results to be shown.

Power Available results contain two curves: square root of the available power (|sqrt(Pav)|) and the phase of the source signal (<signal).

For a plane wave box, the curve will be named sqrt(Sav) instead of sqrt(Pav), and denote the available power density of the incident wave.

sqrt(Pav)and sqrt(Sav) denote time-maximum values of the corresponding available power and available power density. Time-averaged values can be obtained by dividing these results by two.

Additionally the information about Available Energy from the excitation is displayed in the status bar.

For detailed discussion concerning Power Available post-processing refer to Power Available from the source and Energy available from the source.

The Values pane contains information about visible curves such as name, domain and value under active cursor and other parameters in separated columns which can be chosen in Select Column dialogue.
