How to export far-field axial ratio, ludwig III co- and cross-polarization, etc. far-field values

Post-FEKO allows the user to visualize the 3D characteristics of antenna radiation, e.g., theta and phi polarized gain, axial ratio, Ludwig III co- and cross-polarized components, etc. but when the user goes to export the 3D data, there don't appear to be options to export axial ratio, Ludwig III co- and cross-polarized components, etc. The user is only able to export properties like theta and phi polarized gain or directivity. Is there a way to export, e.g., the 3D axial ratio pattern or the Ludwig III co- and cross-polarized components?

    Hi @Nicholas Russo,

    You can basically export any plotted graph by simply right-clicking in the graph and selecting "to file (.dat)".

    Hope this helps!

    Hi, I am facing the same situation.

    @Torben Voigt what you propose it is ok for a single curve, but I would like to export the RHCP component for the whole 3D pattern. Is it possible?

    Hi @Antonio Gentile ,
    As mentioned in the support case, it is currently not directly possible to export field components data from the 3D plot that you can plot as such
