To set the PO mesh properties, click on the [[File:mesh_settings.png]] button of the '''Simulate Toolbar''' or select '''Menu > Simulate > Discretization > Mesh Settings... '''or right click on the '''3-D Mesh''' item in the '''Discretization''' section of the Navigation Tree and select '''Mesh Settings...''' from the contextual menu, or use the keyboard shortcut '''Ctrl+G'''. You can change the value of '''Mesh Density''' to generate a triangular mesh with a higher or lower resolutions. Some additional mesh [[parameters]] can be access by clicking the {{key|Tessellation Options}} button of the dialog. In the Tessellation Options dialog, you can change '''Curvature Angle Tolerance''' expressed in degrees, which as a default value of 15°. This parameter can affect the shape of the mesh especially in the case of [[Solid Objects|[[Solid Objects|[[Solid Objects|[[Solid Objects|[[Solid Objects|[[Solid Objects|[[Solid Objects|[[Solid Objects|[[Solid Objects|[[Solid Objects|[[Solid Objects|solid objects]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]. It determines the apex angle of the triangular cells of the primary tessellation mesh which is generated initially before cell regularization. Lower values of the angle tolerance result in a less smooth and more pointed mesh of curved surface like a sphere.

You can plot the port characteristics from the Navigation Tree. Right click on the '''Port Definition''' item in the '''Observables''' section of the Navigation Tree and select one of the items: '''Plot S [[Parameters]]''', '''Plot Y [[Parameters]]''', '''Plot Z [[Parameters]]''', or '''Plot VSWR'''. In the first three cases, another sub-menu gives a list of individual port [[parameters]]. Keep in mind that in multi-port structures, each individual port parameter has its own graph. You can also see a list of all the port characteristics data files in [[EM.Cube|EM.CUBE]]'s data manager. To open data manager, click the '''Data Manager''' [[File:data_manager_icon.png]] button of the '''Compute Toolbar''' or select '''Compute [[File:larrow_tn.png]]Data Manager''' from the menu bar or right click on the '''Data Manager''' item of the Navigation Tree and select Open Data Manager... from the contextual menu or use the keyboard shortcut '''Ctrl+D'''. Select any data file by clicking and highlighting its '''ID''' in the table and then click the '''Plot''' button to plot the graph. By default, the S [[parameters]] are plotted as double magnitude-phase graphs, while the Y and Z [[parameters]] are plotted as double real-imaginary part graphs. The VSWR data are plotted on a Cartesian graph. You change the format of complex data plots. In general complex data can be plotted in three forms: # Magnitude and Phase# Real and Imaginary Parts# Smith Chart In particular, it may be useful to plot the S_ii [[parameters]] on a Smith chart. To change the format of a data plot, go to the row in the '''Data Manager Dialog''' that contains a specific complex data file's name and click on the fourth column under the title '''Graph Type'''. The selected table cell turns into a dropdown list that contains the above three formats. Select the desired format and click the '''Plot''' button of the data manager dialog to plot the data in the new format.
