assign_floating

Maxwell2d.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. 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.
