A minute dipole antenna consists of PEC and port. It is surrounded by an ambient air. A body named “Correction” is a domain for correcting the electromagnetic field. To shorten the calculation time, the domain for correction is limited.
There is another air box surrounding the ambient air. When an open boundary condition is set on the outermost area of the analysis domain, the accuracy of the electromagnetic field near the open boundary condition tends to be degraded. Therefore, for the better look, another air box is created to hide the area with low accuracy.

You can view the results fields.
Go to Results tab > Display > Solver, and select “Electromagnetic waves correction field”
The field types are as follows.
Electric field [V/m] original | Electric field before correction. It is the same electric field as displayed in the electromagnetic waves analysis. Depending on the display method, they don’t necessarily match. |
Electric field [V/m] data for correction | Electric field for correction. The larger the value, the greater the reflection on the open boundary. |
Electric field [V/m] after correction | Original data and corrected data of the electric field are added. |
Magnetic field [A/m] original | Magnetic field before correction. It is the same magnetic field as displayed in the electromagnetic waves analysis. Depending on the display method, they don’t necessarily match. |
Magnetic field [A/m] data for correction | Magnetic field field for correction. The larger the value, the greater the reflection on the open boundary. |
Magnetic field [A/m] after correction | Original data and corrected data of the magnetic field are added. |
The left diagram below is based on the conditions listed below. The gradation contour diagram is displayed with bodies “AIR” and “PEC” hidden because the corrected body in this example is body “Correction” only.

The right diagram below is obtained by changing “Electric field [V/m] original” to “Electric field [V/m] after correction”.
The color scale is set from 3x105[V/m] to 3×104[V/m]. This setting is needed to draw the diagram representing overall distributions well.
While the lower left diagram shows the field pulled to the boundary unnaturally in the upper and lower areas of the dipole antenna, the lower right diagram shows the natural field after the correction. The influence of the boundary is not observed.
The correction has been successfully executed.
For your information, the diagrams at the top of this page are drawn with the section view and the line contour.
