Assigning an End Connection for a 2D Transient Solver

End connection is used to model details of the "squirrel cage" winding of induction machines, dampers in synchronous machines, etc.

To define an end connection:

1. Select the section of the geometry (i.e., the conductor) across which you want to apply the excitation.
2. Click Maxwell 2D > Excitations > Assign > End Connection.
   The End Connection Excitation dialog box appears.
3. Enter a name for the excitation in the Name box, or accept the default.
4. In the Parameters section, specify the following options:

1. Enter the End resistance between adjacent conductors, and select a unit of measurement from the drop-down menu.
2. Enter the End inductance between adjacent conductors, and select a unit of measurement from the drop-down menu.

5. Optionally, click Use Defaults to revert to the default values in the dialog box.
6. Click OK to assign the excitation to the selected object.
