Note that currents are complex vector quantities. Each electric or magnetic current has three X, Y and Z components, and each complex component has a magnitude and phase. You can visualize the surface electric currents on metal (PEC) and conductive sheet traces, surface magnetic currents on slot (PMC) traces and vertical volume currents on the PEV vias and embedded dielectric objects. 3D color-coded intensity plots of electric and magnetic current distributions are visualized in the project workspace, superimposed on the surface of physical objects. In order to view the current distributions, you must first define them as observables before running the planar MoM simulation. To do that, right click on At the '''Current Distributions''' item in the '''Observables''' section top of the Navigation Tree and select '''Insert New Observable...'''. The Current Distribution Dialog opens up. At the top of the dialog and in the section titled '''Active Trace / Set''', you can select a trace or embedded object set where you want to observe the current distribution. You can also select the current map type from two options: '''Confetti''' and '''Cone'''. The former produces an intensity plot for current amplitude and phase, while the latter generates a 3D vector plot. Once you close the current distribution dialog, the label of the selected trace or object set is added under the '''Current Distributions''' node of the Navigation Tree.
