Imposed Current Coil

Introduction

The Imposed Current Coil allows you to define a body / bodies as a coil and enter the associated physical data.

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

Prerequisite: The bodies to define as Imposed Current Coils must be meshed.

Select bodies: Select one or several bodies to define as a coil
Number of turns: Enter the number of turns of the coil
Current value: Enter the current value
Conductor connection: is used if symmetry or periodicity entities are existing. This input allows to define the symmetric or periodic coils as in Series or in Parallel. That means that if a current "I" is flowing into the represented coil, then each symmetric or periodic coil will have:
- in series: I
- in parallel: I divided by the total number of coils in the complete device
  
  Note: for example, if the device has one symmetry, the current on the represented coil and in the symmetric coil will be I/2. If the device has a periodicity with a total of 6 portions, the current on each portion coil will be I/6.
Current orientation: allows to define the current orientation into the coil body. There are two possibilities:
- Positive
- Negative
