POSTFEKO 3d view: RCS

A quick question regarding the POSTFEKO 3d view: is there any way of disabling the spherical cloud of black dots surrounding the model when testing monostatic RCS over several instances of θ? The dots coincide with the source symbols (plane wave), but are not controlled by the  'Sources'-button under Display->Entities. They only appear at quite fine steps of θ and φ (< 3° for the model in the screenshot). I'm using FEKO 2018.2.

    Hi @Doppler8

    I'm trying to think what it is that you are seeing in this view... Can you please add a simple model showing this behaviour? Attaching the .pfs file would be great, along with the various model files (.fek, .bof and .cfx).

    I can reproduce the behaviour (so no need to add a model). I'll take a look and report back....

    Unfortunately, this seems to be a display bug and there is no perfect workaround that I can think of.

     

    If you do not wish to see any sources, you could set up a cut plane that cuts through sources only (on the visibility tab, add all other entities to the 'Do not cut entities' section) and define the location of the cut plane so that it removes the plane wave sources from your 3D view.
