Finite Element coupling components: definition (structure)
Definition
A stranded coil conductor, 2-terminal solid conductor or N-terminal solid conductor component is defined by:
- a name (and a comment)
- a model
- specific characteristics depending on the model
- two terminals (stranded coil conductor/2-terminal solid conductor) / N terminals (N-terminal solid conductor)
Name
The name permitting the identification of the component is given by the user when it is created by him.
A comment (optional) can be added to the name.
The name and the comment are displayed by default in the graphic zone close to the symbol.
