in my 2D simulation with TM (Ez) source, I want to calculate output-hfield-r and output-hefield-p. after running, meep didn't create .h5 files. but when I calculate output-hfield-x and output-hfield-y, the results are right. who could help me find the reason.

The cylindrical output routines are only available when you use cylindrical coordinates.

by the way, i also don't understand the component constants related phi, for example: Ep, hp, in 3D simulation. in 3D simulation, two angles are needed to specify one vector E field and H field.

Only one angle is needed in cylindrical coordinates (r,phi,z).

However, cylindrical coordinates are only available in Meep for structures that are rotationally invariant (around the z axis), as explained in the manual.
