Block Label Property in DC Conduction Analysis

Help contents

Electric Conductivity

Enter components of conductivity tensor here, or leave None or blank to specify that the block with the corresponding label is excluded. To define two different components, first check the Anisotropic box.

The electrical conductivity of the material may depend on temperature. Dependency is given in tabular form and automatically be approximated by a spline. To specify the electrical conductivity, which depends on temperature, check the Function of Temperature check box to get into the curve editor.

Enter a number or a formula into the Temperature field. The formula describes the temperature dependency on coordinates. Please note that all coordinates in a formula are given in meters no regards to length units you have choose for the problem.

Coordinates

Have sense for anisotropic conductors or compound (laminated) conductors modeled as anisotropic. Specify Cartesian or Polar according to the class of symmetry of anisotropy.
