Can you analyze radiation patterns or surface currents of an antenna in CST?

2D and 3D simulation results, such as the electromagnetic field distribution or far-field radiation pattern, contain a lot of data, and the user needs to specify which results should be stored to the hard drive before the simulation is run.

These are set up using field monitors, found in the ‘simulation’ tab in the ribbon bar. It’s possible to specify frequency as well as time monitors. The results are found at the bottom of the ‘navigation tree’ when the simulation is completed.

In the ‘post-processing’ tab in the ribbon bar, there are result templates that have plenty of predefined possibilities for 2D and 3D field results, as well as far-field and antenna properties.
