Hi All,
I am trying to integrate the current density norm on a serpentine like metal resistor film as shown in the attached figure. Using quick planes, I can change the location of the plane but I do not wish to cover the entire simulation area (like the dashed line representing the cut plane), instead I wish to define a cut plane with a restricted x and y-coordinate (like the small solid line) so that I can integrate the current density on one arm of the serpentine like resistor. Is it possible to restrict the area of the cut plane?

Thanks in advance!

-Ozan

You can achieve this effect indirectly: Suppose that you want to evaluate a cut plane that points to a solution data set. Create a copy of the solution data set and add a Selection to it. Choose a selection that restricts the cut plane in the way that you want. You should probably create the selection first (in the geometry sequence or under Definitions). Now let the cut plane use the solution data set with the selection instead of the original solution data set.
