Reprioritizing Boundaries
Each boundary you assign overwrites any existing boundary which it overlaps. You can change the priority of a previously assigned boundary to be greater than a more recently assigned boundary.
The order of boundaries and excitations is important because, for any given triangle of the mesh, only one boundary or excitation can be visible to the solvers. The highest priority boundary condition applied on a certain surface overwrites the lower priority one(s) applied on the same surface. If any surfaces with boundary conditions have a partial overlap, then in the overlap region, the precedence rule applies. The highest priority boundary condition takes precedence over the lower one(s) such that for all mesh nodes on any surface carrying a boundary condition, only one boundary condition is actually enforced and visible to the solver.
Excitations cannot be reprioritized. Only boundaries can be reprioritized.

The Reprioritize Boundaries window appears. The order the boundaries and excitations appear in the list indicates the order in which they were defined. The lowest priority assignment appears at the top of the list.
Ports are automatically placed at the bottom (highest priority) of the list; you cannot move a boundary to a higher priority than a port. Magnetic Bias Excitations (if any) have the lowest priority. Other boundaries and excitations appear between these two extremes.
- Drag the boundary you want to change to
the desired order of priority.
Note:
The order of boundaries and excitations in the project tree is alphabetical. The order does not correspond to the order of boundaries and excitations visible to the solvers.
