Assigning a Vector Potential for a 2D Magnetostatic Solver
To define a vector potential boundary:
- 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.
- Click Maxwell 2D > Boundaries > Assign > Vector
Potential.
The Vector Potential Boundary dialog box appears. - Enter a name for the boundary in the Name box, or accept the default.
- In the Parameters section, enter the value of the potential. The value may be specified as a single numeric value or a functional value.
- If a functional value is specified, select a Coordinate System from the drop-down menu:
- Optionally, click Use Defaults to revert to the default values in the dialog box.
- Click OK to assign the boundary to the selected object.
The new boundary is added to the boundary list in the project tree.
