Local field data in the given point.
The FieldPoint object represents field data in the given point. Usually you get a FieldPoint object by the GetLocalValues method of the Result object. When you are working with the TableWindow object, you get a FieldPoint object for the table row using the Value of the TableRow object.
The FieldPoint object represents the field quantities that are common for all kinds of problem. However some problem types offers the most specific field quantities. These are contained in specific FieldPoint based objects: FieldPointES for electrostatic problems, FieldPointHE for AC magnetics (time-harmonic) problems and FieldPointSA for stress analysis problems. All of the specific FieldPoint** objects are based on the general FieldPoint object and inherits all its properties.
All of the FieldPoint object's properties are read-only.

* For time harmonic problems all the field quantities are complex. Nevertheless the FieldPoint's properties are real. They are calculated as peak, root mean square (RMS) or momentary values depending upon the mode chosen for corresponding FieldPicture. You can obtain also complex values using the FieldPointHE object.
