Field Volume

Visualization

The three-dimensional region around the accessory where the magnetic field strength exceeds a chosen threshold. It's visualized as a dome-shaped solid revolved around the coil's central axis. The report's 3D Field Volume chart per setting shows this dome with the accessory's outer diameter (and loop inner diameter, when applicable) drawn as reference rings on the base. This lets you compare the field's reach directly to the physical coil footprint. The dome's height shows how deep the field penetrates. Its width shows how far it spreads laterally. For loop coils, the on-axis field at the central axis drops below threshold before the field at the winding ring does. This creates a crater in the dome's top, reflecting the donut shape of the field.

A real 3D Field Volume render from a Gauss Labs report: nested isosurface shells above a disc accessory, the translucent outer shell marking where the field holds 10 percent of its peak and the solid inner shell where it holds 50 percent, over the gold accessory footprint. — The field around a coil fills a three-dimensional region. This is a real render from a Gauss Labs report, showing that region as nested isosurface shells revolved around the coil axis above the accessory. Each shell is the boundary where the field holds a set fraction of its peak: the translucent outer shell marks 10 percent of peak, the reach edge, and the solid inner shell marks 50 percent, closer to the accessory where the field is strongest. The shell height shows how deep the field reaches and its width how far it spreads.
