Defining Boundary Conditions in 2D

To assign a boundary condition:

1. Select the section of the geometry on which you want to apply the boundary condition.
2. Click Maxwell 2D > Boundaries > Assign, or right-click Boundaries in the Project Manager tree and click Assign.

3. Select the desired boundary type from the sub-menu. The specific boundary types you can define depend on the solver you have chosen for your project.

   • Magnetostatic Boundary Conditions
   • Electrostatic Boundary Conditions
   • AC Conduction (Electric) Boundary Conditions
   • DC Conduction (Electric) Boundary Conditions
   • Eddy Current Boundary Conditions
   • 2D Transient Boundary Conditions

4. Enter the name for the boundary or accept the default.
5. Depending on the boundary type, you may need to define additional parameters.
6. Click OK to create the new boundary.

The new boundary is added to the boundary list in the project tree.
