Assigning a Vector Potential for a 2D Magnetostatic Solver

To define a vector potential boundary:

  1. Select the section of the geometry on which you want to apply the boundary condition (typically an edge). Maxwell 2D requires that the Vector Potential be assigned on a 1D object such as an edge or a line.
  2. Click Maxwell 2D > Boundaries > Assign > Vector Potential.
    The Vector Potential Boundary dialog box appears.
  3. Enter a name for the boundary in the Name box, or accept the default.
  4. In the Parameters section, enter the value of the potential. The value may be specified as a single numeric value or a functional value.
  5. If a functional value is specified, select a Coordinate System from the drop-down menu:
  6. Optionally, click Use Defaults to revert to the default values in the dialog box.
  7. Click OK to assign the boundary to the selected object.

The new boundary is added to the boundary list in the project tree.
