assign_floating

Maxwell3d.assign_floating(assignment, charge_value=0, name=None)

Assign floating excitation to model conductors at unknown potentials and specify the total charge on the conductor.

Parameters:

assignmentlist of int, ansys.aedt.core.modeler.cad.object3d.Object3d,

ansys.aedt.core.modeler.elements_3d.FacePrimitive or str

List of objects or faces to assign the excitation to.

charge_valueint, float, optional

Charge value in Coloumb. If not provided, The default is 0.

namestr, optional

Name of the excitation. If not provided, a random name with prefix “Floating” will be generated.

Returns:

ansys.aedt.core.modules.Boundary.BoundaryObject

Boundary object. False when failed.

Examples

Assign a floating excitation for a Maxwell 2D Electrostatic design.

>>> from ansys.aedt.core import Maxwell2d
>>> m2d = Maxwell2d(version="2025.2")
>>> m2d.solution_type = SolutionsMaxwell2D.ElectroStaticXY
>>> rect = m2d.modeler.create_rectangle([0, 0, 0], [3, 1], name="Rectangle1")
>>> floating = m2d.assign_floating(assignment=rect, charge_value=3, name="floating_test")
>>> m2d.desktop_class.close_desktop()

Assign a floating excitation for a Maxwell 3D Electrostatic design providing an object.

>>> from ansys.aedt.core import Maxwell3d
>>> m3d = Maxwell3d(version="2025.2")
>>> m3d.solution_type = SolutionsMaxwell3D.ElectroStatic
>>> box = m3d.modeler.create_box([0, 0, 0], [10, 10, 10], name="Box1")
>>> floating = m3d.assign_floating(assignment=box, charge_value=3)

Assign a floating excitation providing a list of faces.

>>> floating1 = m3d.assign_floating(assignment=[box.faces[0], box.faces[1]], charge_value=3)
>>> m3d.desktop_class.close_desktop()
