Method max_abs_field_function

python/simulation.py:4421–4441

As `integrate_field_function`, but returns the maximum absolute value of `func` in the volume `where` instead of its integral. The integration is performed by summing over the grid points with a simple trapezoidal rule, and the maximum is similarly over the grid poi

        Functions](Field_Functions.md) for examples of how to call

        if you want to do computations combining the electric and magnetic fields. The
        volume can optionally be specified via the `center` and `size` arguments.

        Occasionally, one wants to compute an integral that combines fields from two
        separate simulations (e.g. for nonlinear coupled-mode calculations). This
        functionality is supported in Meep, as long as the two simulations have the *same*
        cell, the same resolution, the same boundary conditions and symmetries (if any),
        and the same PML layers (if any).
