Since version 2026, Flux 3D and Flux PEEC are no longer available.

Please use SimLab to create a new 3D project or to import an existing Flux 3D project.

Please use SimLab to create a new PEEC project (not possible to import an existing Flux PEEC project).

/!\ Documentation updates are in progress – some mentions of 3D may still appear.

Post-processing of local (or spatial) quantities

Definition: reminder

The local (or spatial) quantities are the quantities directly accessible in each point of the computation domain.

It can be a question of the:

  • magnetic field H, magnetic flux density B,… in case of a magnetic application
  • electric potential V, electric field E,… in case of an electric application
  • temperature T,… in case of a thermal application

Uses of local quantities

The local quantities can be:

  • computed and graphically represented in different forms (color shade, arrow, lines,…), on different spatial supports (volume region, cutting plane, 2D or 3D grid,…)
  • stored in the Flux project and exported under various formats (text.txt, Excel.xls)

Graphic representation

The local quantities can be computed and graphically represented in different forms (color shade, lines…), on different spatial supports (volume region, cutting plane, 2D grid, multipoint support…). These various options are presented in the table below.

Results storage (saving) and exportation

The local quantities can be stored in the Flux project and exported under different formats (excel, text, xml, etc.). These various options are presented in the table below.
