assign_current#

Maxwell2d.assign_current(assignment, amplitude=1, phase='0deg', solid=True, swap_direction=False, name=None)[source]#

Assign the source of the current.

Parameters:

assignmentlist, str: List of objects to assign the current source to.
amplitudefloat or str, optional: Current amplitude. The default is 1A.
phasestr, optional: Current phase. The default is "0deg".
solidbool, optional: Specifies the type of conductor, which can be solid or stranded. The default is True, which means the conductor is solid``. When False, it means the conductor is stranded.
swap_directionbool, optional: Reference direction. The default is False which means that current is flowing inside the object.
namestr, optional: Name of the current excitation. The default is None in which case a generic name will be given.

Returns:

pyaedt.modules.Boundary.BoundaryObject: Boundary object.
