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.
