Describing sources

Introduction

We distinguish two types of sources:

  • an imposed electric current density (J0)
  • an imposed electric potential (V0)

The modeling of these two types of sources in Flux software is detailed in the following blocks.

Imposed density of electric current

It is possible to impose an electric current density (J0) on a region by using the regions known as non-material of the type: imposed current density

The imposed density of current on a face region (3D) or on a line region (2D/3D) is expressed in A/mm2 or in A/mm respectively. This can be uniform or space dependent.

Imposed electric potential

It is possible to impose an electric potential (V0) on a region by using the regions known as non-material of type: imposed electric potential

The electric potential imposed on a surface region (3D) or on a line region (2D/3D) is expressed in Volts. This can be uniform or space dependent.
