CurrentSource

A current source, similar to a voltage source, but the current is impressed in the model.

Example

application = cf.Application.getInstance()
project = application:NewProject()

    -- Create a FEM line port

cuboid = project.Contents.Geometry:AddCuboid(cf.Point(0,0,0), 1, 1, 1)
cuboid.Regions[1].SolutionMethod = cf.Enums.RegionSolutionMethodEnum.FEM
dielectric = project.Definitions.Media.Dielectric:AddDielectric()
cuboid.Regions[1].Medium = dielectric
FEMLinePort = project.Contents.Ports:AddFEMLinePort({cuboid.Edges[1]})

    -- Add a current source to the FEM line port

source = project.Contents.SolutionConfigurations.GlobalSources:AddCurrentSource(FEMLinePort)

Inheritance

The CurrentSource object is derived from the Source object.

Usage locations

The CurrentSource object can be accessed from the following locations:

Property List

BoundingBox
A box indicating the bounding box of this entity. (Read only Box). (Read only Box)
Impedance
The reference impedance (Ohm). (Read/Write ParametricExpression)
Label
The object label. (Read/Write string)
Magnitude
The source magnitude. (Read/Write ParametricExpression)
Phase
The source phase (degrees). (Read/Write ParametricExpression)
Type
The object type string. (Read only string)

Method List

Delete ()
Deletes the entity.
Duplicate ()
Duplicates the entity. (Returns a Object object.)
GetProperties ()
Returns a table of properties representing the state of the object. The properties table can be used with the SetProperties method to change multiple properties of the object in one step. (Returns a table object.)
SetProperties (properties Object)
Modifies the state of the object using the provided table of properties. This method is used to modify multiple properties of the object in a single step.

Static Function List

GetDefaultProperties ()
Creates a table containing the default settings to create an object. (Returns a table object.)
