An ideal source acts as a voltage source with a zero internal resistance that can be placed between any two adjacent mesh grid nodes anywhere in the computational domain. To create a new ideal source, follow these steps:
* By default, EM.Cube creates a +Z-directed ideal source located at the origin of coordinates (0, 0, 0). You can change the location of the source by setting new values for the X, Y and Z coordinates. When you use the spin buttons to increment or decrement the source coordinates, you can see the source moving in the project workspace. You can also change the '''Direction''' of the source from a dropdown list in the Source Location section of the dialog that contains ±X, ±Y and ±Z options.
* In the '''Source Properties''' section, you can specify the '''Source Amplitude''' in Volts and the '''Phase''' in Degrees.
