&quot;Show Mesh&quot; generates a new mesh and displays it if there is none in the memory, or it simply displays an existing mesh in the memory. This is a useful feature because generating a PO mesh may take a long time depending on the complexity and size of objects. If you change the structure or alter the mesh settings, a new mesh is always generated. You can ignore the mesh in the memory and force [[EM.Cube]] to generate a mesh from the ground up by selecting '''Menu > Simulate > Discretization > Regenerate Mesh''' or by right clicking on the '''3-D Mesh''' item of the Navigation Tree and selecting '''Regenerate''' from the contextual menu.
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&deg;. 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|[[Solid Objects|[[Solid Objects|[[Solid Objects|[[Solid Objects|[[Solid Objects|[[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.

By default, the Surface MoM solver is selected as your simulation engine. If your project workspace contains at least one line or curve object, the Wire MoM solver is rather selected as your simulation engine. In either case, the engine type is set automatically. To start the simulation, click the {{key|Run}} button of this dialog.

You have the choice to run a '''Single-Frequency Analysis''' simulation, which is the default choice, or run a '''Frequency Sweep'''. In the former case, the simulation will be carried out at the '''Center Frequency''' of the project. This frequency can be changed from the Frequency Dialog of the project or you can click the Frequency Settings button of the Run Dialog to open up the Frequency Settings dialog. You can change the value of Center Frequency from this dialog, too.
 
In case you choose Frequency Sweep, the Frequency Settings dialog gives two options for '''Sweep Type: Adaptive''' or '''Uniform'''. In a uniform sweep, equally spaced samples of the frequency are used between the Start and End frequencies. These are initially set by the project Bandwidth, but you can change their values from the Frequency Settings dialog. The default '''Number of Samples''' is 10.In the case of adaptive sweep, you have to specify the '''Maximum Number of Iterations''' as well as the '''Error'''. An adaptive sweep simulation starts with a few initial frequency samples, where the Wire MoM engine is run. Then, the intermediary samples are calculated in a progressive manner. At each iteration, the frequency samples are used to calculate a rational approximation of the S parameter response over the specified frequency range. The process stops when the error criterion is met.
To run a MoM3D sweep, open the '''Run Simulation Dialog''' and select one of the above sweep types from the '''Simulation Mode''' drop-down list in this dialog. If you select either frequency or angular sweep, the '''Settings''' button located next to the simulation mode drop-down list becomes enabled. If you click this button, the Frequency Settings Dialog or Angle Settings Dialog opens up, respectively. In the frequency settings dialog, you can set the start and end frequencies as well as the number of frequency samples. The start and end frequency values are initially set based on the project's center frequency and bandwidth. During a frequency sweep, as the project's frequency changes, so does the wavelength. As a result, the mesh of the structure also changes at each frequency sample. The frequency settings dialog gives you three choices regarding the mesh of the project structure during a frequency sweep:
