Skin depth computation

Introduction

A calculator enabling to compute the skin depth is available in Flux.

Access

To open the calculator, in the Mesh menu, click on Skin depth computation.

Calculator for skin depth computation

The calculator is presented as follows:

Compute the skin depth

To calculate the skin depth:

  • In the Values area:

    fill in the fields: Resistivity, Relative permeability, Frequency

  • In the Result area:
    • choose the units
    • read the skin depth value
