Bidirectional Conductor: definition (structure)
Definition
A Bidirectional Conductor is defined by:
- a name (and comment)
- a list of volumes
- a face that identifies the plane of current flow
- a material
- a mesh
- a type
- specific characteristics belonging to a type
- attributes of visibility
Name
The name to identify the Bidirectional Conductor is set by the user during the creation of this one. Flux PEEC proposes the following default names: CONDUCTORBIDIRECTIONAL_1, …
A comment (optional) can be added to the name.
Types of Bidirectional Conductors
Only one type of Bidirectional Conductor is available. It is a conductor resulting from a classic geometry description. The characteristics useful for their description are presented in the table below.
| Conductor … | Characteristics | Creation |

Types of mesh
Only one type of mesh is provided as presented in the table below.
| Types of mesh | Characteristics |
|---|---|
| Uniform | A number of elements in the two directions defined in the plane of electric current flow |
| Automatic according to the frequency |
This feature is not in version 2.1 of Flux PEEC. It is planned for future releases. |
