class simpeg.electromagnetics.time_domain.Fields3DElectricField(simulation)[source]#

Bases: FieldsTDEM

Fields class for storing 3D total electric field solutions.

This class stores the total electric field solution computed using a time_domain.Simulation3DElectricField simulation object. This class can be used to extract the following quantities:

'e' and 'j' on mesh edges.
'b', 'dbdt' and 'dhdt' on mesh faces.

See the example below to learn how fields can be extracted from a Fields3DElectricField object.

Parameters:

simulationtime_domain.Simulation3DElectricField: The TDEM simulation object associated with the fields.

Attributes

`aliasFields`	The aliased fields of the object.
`approxSize`	Approximate cost of storing all of the known fields in MB.
`dtype`	Python data type(s) used to store the fields.
`knownFields`	The field solutions and where they are discretized on the mesh.
`mesh`	Mesh used by the simulation.
`simulation`	The simulation object used to compute the field solution.
`survey`	Survey used by the simulation.

Methods

startup()

Run startup to connect the simulation's discrete attributes to the fields object.

Examples

The Fields3DElectricField object stores the total electric field solution on mesh edges. To extract the discrete electric fields and db/dt for all sources and time-steps:

f = simulation.fields(m)
e = f[:, 'e', :]
dbdt = f[:, 'dbdt', :]

The array e returned will have shape (n_edges, n_sources, n_steps). And the array dbdt returned will have shape (n_faces, n_sources, n_steps). We can also extract the fields for a subset of the sources and time-steps as follows:

f = simulation.fields(m)
e = f[source_list, 'e', t_inds]
dbdt = f[source_list, 'dbdt', t_inds]
