&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]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]. 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.

== Working with 3D MoM Simulation Data ==
At the end of a 3D MoM simualtion, EM.Libera generates a number of output data files that contain all the computed simulation data. These include current distributionsThe primary solution of the Wire MoM simulation engine consists of the linear electric currents on the wires and wireframe structures. The primary solution of the Surface MoM simulation engine consists of the electric and magnetic surface currents on the PEC and dielectric objects. EM.Libera currently offers the following types of observables: * '''Port Characteristics''': S, near-field dataZ and Y [[Parameters]] and Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR)* '''Radiation Characteristics''': Radiation Patterns, port characteristics if your project has a port definitionDirectivity, far-field radiation pattern data Total Radiated Power, Axial Ratio, Main Beam Theta and biPhi, Radiation Efficiency, Half Power Beam Width (HPBW), Maximum Side Lobe Level (SLL), First Null Level (FNL), Front-to-Back Ratio (FBR), etc.* '''Scattering Characteristics''': Bi-static or monoand Mono-static radar cross sections Radar Cross Section (RCS) if the structure is excited by a plane wave source.* '''Current Distributions''': Electric and magnetic surface current amplitude and phase on all metal and dielectric surfaces and electric current amplitude and phase on all wires * '''Near-Field Distributions''': Electric and magnetic field amplitude and phase on specified planes and their central axes
