Postprocessing#

This section lists modules for creating and editing plots in AEDT. They are accessible through the post property.

Note

Some capabilities of the AdvancedPostProcessing module require Python 3 and installations of the numpy, matplotlib, and pyvista packages.

Note

Some functionalities are available only when AEDT is running in graphical mode.

`AdvancedPostProcessing.PostProcessor`	Contains advanced postprocessing functionalities that require Python 3.x packages like NumPy and Matplotlib.
`solutions.SolutionData`	Contains information from the `GetSolutionDataPerVariation()` method.
`solutions.FieldPlot`	Provides for creating and editing field plots.
`solutions.FfdSolutionData`	Contains information from the far field solution data.

from pyaedt import Hfss
app = Hfss(specified_version="2023.1",
             non_graphical=False, new_desktop_session=True,
             close_on_exit=True, student_version=False)

# This call returns the PostProcessor class
post = app.post

# This call returns a FieldPlot object
plotf = post.create_fieldplot_volume(objects, quantity_name, setup_name, intrinsics)

# This call returns a SolutionData object
my_data = post.get_solution_data(expressions=trace_names)

# This call returns a new standard report object and creates one or multiple reports from it.
standard_report = post.reports_by_category.standard("db(S(1,1))")
standard_report.create()
sols = standard_report.get_solution_data()

AEDT report management#

AEDT provides great flexibility in reports. PyAEDT has classes for manipulating any report property.

Note

Some functionalities are available only when AEDT is running in graphical mode.

`report_templates.Trace`	Provides trace management.
`report_templates.LimitLine`	Line Limit Management Class.
`report_templates.Standard`	Provides a reporting class that fits most of the app's standard reports.
`report_templates.Fields`	Provides for managing fields.
`report_templates.NearField`	Provides for managing near field reports.
`report_templates.FarField`	Provides for managing far field reports.
`report_templates.EyeDiagram`	Provides for managing eye diagram reports.
`report_templates.Emission`	Provides for managing emission reports.
`report_templates.Spectral`	Provides for managing spectral reports from transient data.

Plot fields and data outside AEDT#

PyAEDT supports external report capabilities available with installed third-party packages like numpy, pandas, matplotlib, and pyvista.

`solutions.SolutionData`	Contains information from the `GetSolutionDataPerVariation()` method.
`solutions.FieldPlot`	Provides for creating and editing field plots.
`solutions.FfdSolutionData`	Contains information from the far field solution data.
`AdvancedPostProcessing.ModelPlotter`	Manages the data to be plotted with `pyvista`.

Icepak monitors#

`FaceMonitor`	Provides Icepak face monitor properties and methods.
`PointMonitor`	Provides Icepak point monitor methods and properties.
`Monitor`	Provides Icepak monitor methods.
