Non-meshed coil: definition (structure)
Definition
A coil is defined by:
- a number
- an electric component associated with the coil
- a number of turns
- a type
- a coordinate system
- specific characteristics belonging to a type
- an appearance (color and visibility attributes)
Number
The number to identify the coil is automatically allocated by Flux during the coil creation.
