Unidirectional Conductors: definition (structure)

Definition

A Unidirectional Conductor is defined by:

  • a name (and comment)
  • a meshing of the section
  • a meshing in the length (optional)
  • a material
  • a type
  • specific characteristics belonging to the type
  • attributes of visibility

Name

The name to identify the Unidirectional Conductor is set by the user during the creation of this one. Flux PEEC provides the following default names:

  • for an automatic creation: GEOMTUBE_1, …
  • for a direct creation: CONDUCTORUNIDIRECTIONAL_1, …

A comment (optional) can be added to the name.

Types of Unidirectional Conductors

The types of Unidirectional Conductors and the characteristics useful for their description are presented in the table below.

Types of section meshing

The different types of section meshing available for each type of Unidirectional Conductors are presented in the table below and detailed in next paragraph.

Conductor … Types of section meshing
resulting from a Geometric Tube

Uniform

Geometric ( only for rectangular sections)

Automatic according to the reference frequency*

Automatic according to a given value of frequency

resulting from a classic geometry description

Uniform

Automatic according to the reference frequency*

Note: *The reference frequency is the frequency defined within the application.

Meshing in the length

Only one type of discretization in the length is proposed: the uniform meshing.
