3.2 Vectorial Representation of the transverse Electric Field Components.

The network shown below is used to create the visualisations shown in Section 2.2.

This section of the network reads the data and prepares it for visualisation. After scaling with the ScalePositions2D macro, a Compute module is used to implement Equations 5 and 6 to convert the cylindrical polar vector data into Cartesian vector data. These equations require the value of \( \phi \), which is provided to the Compute module via a Remove and Replace module. This gives a field where the data value at every point is just the position of that point. Since the data contains values at \( \phi =0 \) and \( \phi =2\pi \), the arrow at these positions overlap and can differ due to numerical instabilities in the dataset. To avoid confusion, the Slab module is used to remove one of them.
