== 3D Visualization of the Simulation Results ==
Once the simulation is completed, the navigation tree is populated with simulation results under the current distributions and RCS nodes. [[EM.Cube]]’s computational modules usually generate two types of data: 2D and 3D. Examples of 2D data are Cartesian and polar radiation patterns. 2D data are graphed in <b>EM.Grid</b>. Examples of 3D data are near-field and current distributions and 3D radiation patterns. 3D data are visualized in [[EM.Cube]]’s project workspace, and the plots are usually overlaid on the physical structure. For this reason, it might be necessary to hide the geometric objects which might obstruct the plots. You can also freeze the geometric objects. In that case, you will see a wireframe outline of the frozen object and you cannot select it. To freeze an object, right-click on its surface in the project workspace or right-click on its name in the navigation tree and select '''Freeze''' from the contextual menu.
{{Note|It is recommended that you freeze objects with curved surfaces in the project workspace before 3D data visualization.}}

== Plotting 2D RCS Graphs in EM.Grid ==
A list of all the 2D output data files generated at the end of a simulation can be viewed in [[EM.Tempo]]’s Data Manager. To open this dialog, click the <b>Data Manager</b> [[Image:fdtd_datamanagerb.png]] button of Simulate Toolbar, or use the keyboard shortcut {{key|Ctrl+D}}, or select the menu item '''Simulate → Data Manager'''.

Close the graph properties dialog and return to the data manager. Do this for both graphs and then plot them in EM.Grid.
