DC conduction

The DC conduction (current flow) module allows to simulate DC current distribution in conducting media. In QuickField DC Conduction module the currents may be induced by voltages applied to conductors, or the known current density on the region boundaries. The DC Conduction analysis module complements other types of electrical field analysis, available in QuickField - Electrostatic and AC Conduction.
The DC conduction module can be used to design and analyze variety of conductive systems such as ground connectors, PCB, biological objects in biomedical researches, and others.

Features of the DC Conduction module:

Anisotropic conductivity
Voltage and current density sources
Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions
Results: Voltage, current density, electric field, power losses, electric current through a surface, and other integral quantities
Couplings: power losses can be used as heat sources (Joule heating) for thermal analysis (electro-thermal coupling)

See examples of DC Conduction problems: temperature distribution in an electric wire, current flow in conductor with various crossections.
