How to get the integral of the normal component of the time-averaged Poynting vector
over a plane? Meep runs with complex fields, drived by multiple continuous-wave electric
dipoles with random phase factors. The number given by (add-flux) is increased with TIME
(run-until TIME). It seems that (meep-fields-flux-in-box fields dir box) can work, but
what does "fields" here means?
The fields represent all the electric & magnetic fields of the simulation.
This will depend on both the dimensionality and the co-ordinates
(cartesian or cylindrical) that are being used.
Another question, how to get the steady-state field distribution (complex
amplitude)? (output-hfield-z) etc. can only output fields in a certain time.
I'm not quite sure what you mean by steady-state since we are working in
the time domain and the fields have a time dependence of the form
exp(-iwt).

Thanks a lot.
