Supplied conductors application: post-processing quantities

Solving process: reminder

With the application Supplied conductors, the solving process requires two steps, as presented in the table below.

PEEC computation (independent on the application)
computation of resistances and partial self-inductances (R, L) of each element of the conductor,

computation of partial mutual inductances (M) among all the parallel elements of the conductor

Computation of the current
solving the electric equations ⇒ value of the current in each element
Post-processing
magnetic flux density, Joule losses, Laplace force,…
