v6.0.2.1551 [Nov 8, 2013]
Problem formulation
- 3D Electrostatic analysis with piecewise constant isotropic electric permittivity varying by bodies.
- Field sources include electric charge or charge density defined in any type of geometric entities: bodies, faces, edges, or vertices.
- Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions can be applied to any of faces, edges, or vertices.
Preprocessing
- Automatic conversion of any existent 2D plane-parallel electrostatic model into corresponding 3D model.
- 3D geometric model creation by a fixed-depth cross-sectional multilayer extrusion of a 2D model.
- Automatic 3D mesh generation controlled by mesh spacing values defined on a set of vertices.
- Properties and boundary conditions set by assigning labels to any geometric entity.
- 3D View mode provides the methods for 3D structures viewing and manipulating, including rotation, zoom and changing visibility of the model parts to see the objects hidden behind.
Postprocessing
- Color maps of selected physical quantities in full 3D view or at arbitrary cross section.
- Local value display with robust picking capability.
- X-Y plots along arbitrary line.
- Vector plots and isosurfaces in 3D view, isolines on a cross section.
- Limited set of integral quantities over the volumes predefined on preprocessing stage.
v5.9.0.1062 [Nov 30, 2011]
1. Temperature-dependent electrical conductivity.
Starting from the version 5.9 QuickField allows taking into account the temperature dependency of the electrical conductivity of each material involved into the DC Conduction, AC Magnetic and Transient Electromagnetic analyses. Following alternatives are now available:
- Electrical conductivity does not depend on temperature;
- Electrical conductivity is temperature dependent, and the temperature in each block is given by a formula with coordinates and time (for transient problems only);
- Electrical conductivity is temperature dependent, and the corresponding temperature field may be imported (to AC magnetic problems only) from the coupled Heat Transfer problem.
2. Magnetic state import into the AC Magnetic analysis.
