Description
Creates electric charge density load. To be used together with the Electrostatic equation.
Usage
- There are several ways to invoke the command:
- Press the
Electric charge density button.
- Select the Model → Electromagnetic boundary conditions →
Electric charge density option from the menu.
- Press the
- Select a mode:
- Interface - free surface charge density (to be applied to surfaces in 3D analyses and edges in 2D analyses) allowing modeling of charged layers, equivalent to Electric Flux Density in Electrostatic potential boundary condition, specify Density
- Source - free volume charge density (to be applied to solids in 3D analyses and surfaces in 2D analyses), specify Density
- Total Interface - total charge distributed across the free surface, specify Total Charge
- Total Source - total charge distributed across the free volume, specify Total Charge
- Press the Add button.
- In the 3D view select the object the load should be applied to.
Options
The dialog offers the following settings:
- Interface Charge Density: To specify interface charge density in C/m^2.
- Mode: To choose between the Interface, Source, Total Interface and Total Source modes.
- Source Charge Density: To specify source charge density in C/m^3.
- Total Charge: To specify total charge in C.
