DC Conduction Excitations

The following excitations are available for electric DC conduction problems:


Excitation

Type of Excitation

Voltage

The DC voltage on a surface or object. This excitation type is available for both electrostatic and DC conduction solvers.

Current

The current across a 2D object. This excitation type is available for DC conduction solvers only. A current excitation must be applied across a 2D surface.

Sink

This excitation type is available for DC conduction solvers only.


For a DC conduction solution, if a current excitation is assigned, at least one sink or voltage excitation must also be defined. However, you cannot define both a voltage excitation and a sink excitation at the same time.
