Getting electric field data at a certain coordinate point in the geometry

Good afternoon,

I'm working on a project involving the electrostatic potential between two electrodes. I'm interested in knowing the quantitative data of the electric field (along with data from other pieces of computed physics) at certain spatial X,Y,Z coordinates.

How do I go about getting this data? Any help is appreciated.

Cheers,
Daniel

Daniel,

you can add cut lines and cut points to the solution and create tables and plots from that.

Regarding the other question about stream lines: They are always delicate when strong gradients are present, which is probably the case between the tips. Its also my experience that they don't look nice then. And to be honest, it is difficult to make a meaningful streamline picture. Without a very well designed choice of start points they can be pretty misleading. I find contours much more meaningful mostly.

Cheers
Edgar
