DC conduction
 |
The DC conduction (current flow) module allows to simulate DC current distribution in conducting media. In QuickField DC Conduction module the currents may be induced by voltages applied to conductors, or the known current density on the region boundaries. The DC Conduction analysis module complements other types of electrical field analysis, available in QuickField - Electrostatic and AC Conduction.
The DC conduction module can be used to design and analyze variety of conductive systems such as ground connectors, PCB, biological objects in biomedical researches, and others. |
Features of the DC Conduction module:
- Anisotropic conductivity
- Voltage and current density sources
- Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions
- Results: Voltage, current density, electric field, power losses, electric current through a surface, and other integral quantities
- Couplings: power losses can be used as heat sources (Joule heating) for thermal analysis (electro-thermal coupling)
See examples of DC Conduction problems: electric wire current, current flow in conductor with various crossections, conducting sheet, PCB heating.
