                                                    Rather than trying to launch an incident wave using a port, use the scattered-wave formalism to define your incident wave.  You'll find the setting if you click on the Electromagnetic Waves item in the Model Builder, then go to Settings, and expand the Formulation right-arrow, and choose Scattered Field.   This approach allows you to separately compute and plot the background field (for the z component, that's called emw.Hbz) as well as the total field (which is called emw.Hz, for the z component.)   That "background" field is your incident field.

                                                    I was able to change the field definition from a port to scattered field. However, my model uses Floquet boundary conditions (I am modeling an array of resonators), and these boundary conditions need a k-vector for Floquet periodicity to be defined. How is the best way to do this?
