Assigning an Insulating Boundary for a Transient Solver
This boundary condition is used to model very thin sheets of perfectly insulated material between touching conductors. Current cannot cross an insulating boundary.
To set an insulating boundary:
- Select the section of the geometry on which you want to apply the boundary condition (typically a face).
- Click Maxwell > Boundaries > Assign > Insulating.
The Insulating Boundary window appears. - Enter a name for the boundary in the Name box, or accept the default.
- Click OK to assign the boundary to the selected object.
Note: An insulating
boundary condition can operate on the source current. It can also be
used to control the flow of induced eddy currents.
