Block Label Property in Transient Electric Problem

Help contents

Labels in transient electric problem are similar to AC Conduction, except both permittivity and conductivity can be nonlinear.

Electric Permittivity

When you associate data with a new label, the text boxes for electric permittivity components contain None. The word None in these boxes or absence of the values means that the blocks with this label will be excluded from calculations.

To define the material's properties (thereby including the block into calculation), type in the required value of electric permittivity. To define the field dependent permittivity or conductivity, check the corresponding Nonlinear Permittivity box, the curve editor will appear allowing to enter or edit the dependency curve.

As long as Anisotropic is unchecked, QuickField changes the tensor components synchronously. To specify different component values, check Anisotropic before entering the required values. The dialog labels besides tensor components reflect the coordinate system (Cartesian or Polar) selected for the property.

Electric Conductivity

Type in the required value of electric conductivity or leave zeros for non-conductive dielectric. To define the field dependent conductivity, check the corresponding Nonlinear Conductivity box, the curve editor will appear allowing to enter or edit the dependency curve.
