Graphic explanation and test of the simulation with respect to temporal and spatial resolution on resonator no 2 (Table 3). a) radial view (radial axis not perspective) of the entire calculated simulation volume. The calculated matrix as well as the size of the simulation cells and the calculation time is shown in the tables below b) partial view of a c) radial view of the total implant showing also the not calculated part at negative axial positions and also doubling the radial component to a non existing (negative) radial component. The result is a visualization of a cut of the entire implant through the cylinder containing the cylinder axis. d) same as a with a temporal resolution better by a factor of 1000 (see table below). e) same as a with a temporal resolution better by a factor of 117 as well as three fold better spatial resolution (see table below) f) same as a with a temporal resolution better by a factor of 1000 as well as six fold better spatial resolution (see table below)
