Some simple questions about AC DC module

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Dear all,

Recently I need to do some simulation with AC/DC module. I use a lot RF module, but not really familiar with AC/DC module. I have several simple questions related.

1. Is it possible to specify global electric potential (mimicking a homogeneous electric field) to polarize a finite object? (A bit similar to solving for the scattered filed in RF module)

2. Is complex permittivity allowed in AC/DC module?

3. What's the boundary condition to terminate an open space surrounding an object?

Thanks in advance!

hello
For static and quasi-static(AC-DC module ) models, it is possible to assume zero fields at the open boundary, provided that this is at a sufficient distance away from the sources. because in low frequency radiation effect can be assumed neglected .
about question 2:
when you define a material with specific sigma(conductivity)and permitivity(epsilonr)that is equal to material with zero conductivity and complex permitivity

Pu,

To terminate an open space, use Infinite Element Domain feature under Definitions.
