assign_voltage_drop

Maxwell2d.assign_voltage_drop(assignment: list, amplitude: float | None = 1, swap_direction: bool | None = False, name: str | None = None)

Assign a voltage drop across a list of faces to a specific value.

The voltage drop applies only to sheet objects. It is available only for Magnetostatic 3D.

Parameters:

assignmentlist

List of faces to assign a voltage drop to.

amplitudefloat, optional

Voltage amplitude in mV. The default is 1.

swap_directionbool, optional

Whether to swap the direction. The default value is False.

namestr, optional

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

Returns:

ansys.aedt.core.modules.boundary.common.BoundaryObject

Boundary object. False when failed.

Examples

Create a cylinder in Maxwell 3D and assign voltage drop to one of its face.

>>> from ansys.aedt.core import Maxwell3d
>>> m3d = Maxwell3d(solution_type="Magnetostatic")
>>> cylinder = m3d.modeler.create_cylinder(origin=[0, 0, 0], radius=5, height=15, orientation="Z")
>>> m3d.assign_voltage_drop(assignment=cylinder.top_face_z, amplitude="1V", name="Volt", swap_direction=False)
