We see that most of the time we are interested in calculating only the E-field in antenna projects when we are talking about the near field. For this reason, we have added an option to enable or disable the automatic calculation of the H-field when we click on the “Run ALL” (F10) button. Go to Tools > Preferences > Options tab.
If we are only interested in the near field and we don’t want to waste time calculating the far field, we can click on the “Run Currents and Near-Field” (F12) button.
In the “Run” menu we also have the options: “Run Far-Field”, “Run Near E-Field” and “Run Near H-Field” to calculate each field separately.
