Radial field components set to zero in 2d axisymmetrical in rf module

Hello all,
I'm trying to calculate the scattering electric field in a 2d axisymmetric rf module problem. I define the background field as Er=exp(j*emw.k0*z). That means that the wave is propagating in the positive z axis direction.
The problem is when I try to look at the far field pattern. Apparently, the electric field is set to zero at the r=0 plane. That means that no matter what, at the angle zero in front of my structure in the far field I get zero scattered field.
I know that the radial field is set to zero because of discontinuity of the field.
Is there any way to over come this problem?
Best,
Moshe

Moshe,
there is no r=0 plane. r=0 defines the symmetry axis and as such it is not possible to have a non-zero radial component on the symmetry axis.
You will need to switch to 3D or maybe 2D planar works?

Edgar
