Passive Conductor

Analysis > Magnetic AC Loads > Passive Conductor

Introduction

This functionality can be used currently to define some bodies as passive conductors. Defining a body as a passive conductor allows the computation of eddy currents in that body. This will enable the calculation of Joule losses due to these eddy currents in the results requests panel. Skin effect is also simulated using this functionality.

Note: This load allows to define only a Passive Conductor without using Circuit Designer.

Note: It is mandatory to assign to the passive conductor bodies a material with a resistivity value.

Note: See Coils modeling for more explanations about the different possibilities of modelling of coils.
