Histories

You may want to collect specific data from your simulation that is more complex or just different than the default data found in the Visualization window. In this case, you can add a History block at the end of your simulation.

An example of a History block in action is below:

<History pseudoPotential1>
  kind = pseudoPotential
  field = multiField.E
  referencePoint = []
  measurePoint = []
</History>

This particular history can be used to measure the “voltage” between two points in a simulation, where the points are given in coordinate form.

You can use any number of histories in your simulation, provided that they match the type of simulation you are running (i.e. a history concerned with the magnetic field will not work in an electrostatic simulation, etc.).

For a full list of available histories available in VSim, please see the Histories section of the VSim Reference Manual.
