Enabling Control Program in a Maxwell 2D Project#
This example shows how you can use PyAEDT to enable control program in a Maxwell 2D project. It shows how to create the geometry, load material properties from an Excel file and set up the mesh settings. Moreover, it focuses on post-processing operations, in particular how to plot field line traces, relevant for an electrostatic analysis.
