Assigning an Insulating Boundary for a DC Conduction Solver

This boundary condition is used to model very thin sheets of perfectly insulating material between touching conductors. Current cannot cross an insulating boundary.

An insulating boundary is only available for electrostatic solutions that include a DC conduction analysis.

To set an insulating boundary:

1. Select the section of the geometry on which you want to apply the boundary condition (typically a face).
2. Click Maxwell > Boundaries > Assign > Insulating.
   The Insulating Boundary window appears.
3. Enter a name for the boundary in the Name box, or accept the default.
4. Click OK to assign the boundary to the selected object.
