Near Field export vs PostFeko plot discrepancy

Hello,

I did cartesian plot for my structure's near field and maximum field magnitude is around 80 V/m (please see the attached screenshot). When I exported the near field data, I noticed that field values are much smaller than what's plotted in Postfeko (1E-2 times smaller). I'm attaching the efe file and plot of z vs mag Ez using the data in it for your reference. These values should be same, but they are not. Can you please help me understand what Postfeko does when plotting near field on cartesian chart?

Thanks in advance,

    Hello Pearl,

     

    I would like to help you, but it looks like you added the wrong efe file - it is simulated at a different frequency and also different coordinates. Could you please include the FEKO model and the file that you are trying to compare?
