Assigning a Current Excitation for a 2D Transient Solver

Specifies the total transient current in an object.

To specify the total transient current:

1. Select the 2D section of the geometry on which you want to apply the excitation.
2. Click Maxwell 2D > Excitations > Assign > Current.
   The Current Excitation dialog box appears.
3. Enter a name for the excitation in the Name box, or accept the default.
4. Enter the current magnitude, time dependent, in the Value box, and select a unit from the drop-down menu.
5. Select the Solid or Stranded radio button to specify the type of conductor.
6. Select either Positive or Negative as the Ref. Direction for the conductor.
7. Optionally, click Use Defaults to revert to the default values in the dialog box.
8. Click OK to assign the excitation to the selected object.
