"Show Mesh" 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°. 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]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]. 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.

=== Scattering Parameters and Port Characteristics ===
If the project structure is excited by gap sources, and one or more ports have been defined, the Wire MoM engine calculates the scattering (S) [[parameters]] of the selected ports, all based on the port impedances specified in the project's "Port Definition". If more than one port has been defined in the project, the scattering matrix of the multiport network is calculated. The S [[parameters]] are written into output ASCII data files. Since these data are complex, they are stored as '''.CPX''' files. Every file begins with a header starting with "#". The admittance (Y) and impedance (Z) [[parameters]] are also calculated and saved in complex data files with '''.CPX''' file extensions. The voltage standing wave ratio of the structure at the first port is also computed and saved to a real data '''.DAT''' file.
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'''.
