Electric Current Shell Thickness

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hi Everyone,

Im working on simulating the electric potential over a hollow cylinder with some thickness d. What Im curious about is how the built in shell thickness variable plays a part in the simulation. If I set it to be my thickness d, but select both the inner and outer boundaries of the cylinder then does it compute two separate shells? If I select only one boundary then in what direction is the shell extruded in the computations, inward or outward?

Thanks for any and all input, when I looked through the ACDC manual it mentions the shell thickness but doesn't describe its role.
