8.1.2    Results Display

Results display of Integral of Power Dissipated window presents the results of space and time integration of power dissipated and time integration of power available.

Note that the space integration is time consuming thus the suppress option for the integration of electric or magnetic Space & Time Integral of Pdiss are available.

The information about FDTD iterations is displayed in the status bar.

 

The title of the results display shows the information about the frequency range used for calculations.

 

The results display shows the following results:

·       Space and time integral of power dissipated

·       Time integral of power available

 

8.1.2.1   Additional controls

The Integral of Power Dissipated window contains of the following controls:

buttons_refresh - Refresh every N iteration (s) field specifies how often the contents of the window are to be refreshed. Note that spatial integration and a search for new maxima/minima are performed at every time-step, irrespectively of this field’s setting. The setting of N>1 serves only to avoid screen flickering in the case of small circuits. Note that the new value of N is actually taken by QW‑Simulator after the Set button is pressed. To avoid confusion, after the value of N is written in the box and before Set is pressed, this value shows up in red.

buttons_media - opens Selected Dense Media dialogue for selecting dense media that will be used in Space & Time Integral of Pdiss (if Dense regions only option is ON) calculations. For detailed discussion concerning application of this option refer to Time integral of power dissipated.

power_integral_selectmedia

 

buttons_restart - resets all the results and restarts space and time integration of power dissipated at the particular iteration and the following message will be displayed:

power_integral_restart

button_regrid - displays the results for the real grid (available in the analysis of periodic structures - 3DP circuit type)

button_imgrid - displays the results for the imaginary grid (available in the analysis of periodic structures - 3DP circuit type)
