Plotting electric potential on individual surfaces

I am trying to plot the electric potential for a single surface rather than all surfaces. Is there any way I can focus on one specific material/surface at a time? I am working in 2D if that makes any difference.

Additionally, I would like to know how to view the electric potential distribution over a mesh. I have a mesh for my geometry and a 2D plot group for my electric potential but I was wondering if there is a way to combine them?

Thank you!

You can make many kinds of plots in which you restrict the plotting to being only on specific volumes, surfaces, lines, etc. In the Model Builder, under Results, and for the Plot Group of interest to you, right-click on the particular item (e.g., "Surface 1" or a similar name) and this should bring up a list of options. In that list, you will see "Selection" and "Filter" as choices. If you choose "Selection," you can then choose specific surfaces (or lines, volumes, etc.) for the plot. Or, you can choose "Filter" and define rules (Boolean statements) that will plot if the condition is true and not plot, if the condition is false. Experiment with those settings!
