The Electric system supports steady-state electric conduction. Primarily, this analysis type is used to determine the electric potential in a conducting body created by the external application of voltage or current loads. From the solution, other results items are computed such as conduction currents, electric field, and joule heating.
This analysis is configured in Ansys Mechanical, using the Ansys solver to compute the solution.
To work through an Electric system:
To add an Electric analysis system, drag the system from the Toolbox to the Project Schematic or double-click the system in the Toolbox.
To load the geometry, right-click the Geometry cell and select from the context menu.
To open the Mechanical application, right-click the Setup cell and select from the context menu or double-click the Setup cell.
In the Mechanical application window, complete your analysis using the application's tools and features.
See Electric Analysis in the Mechanical User's Guide for more information on conducting this analysis.
