Step 2 – Set boundary conditions and create link

 

Set Boundary Conditions where current enters and leaves model and convection occurs

1.         Main Menu – BC’s – Point Source

Enter point (.8, 3.6, .0178)

Source Type Current and Value = 50

Apply

Enter point (.8, .6, .0178)

Source Type Current and Value -50

Apply

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


2.              Main Menu – BC’s –Convection – Define BC

Left Point (0, 0, 0); Right Point (6, 4, 0)

Parameters Constant, h = 15

Apply

Left Point (0, 0, .09); Right Point (6, 4, .09)

Parameters Constant, h = 15

Apply

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Create a link between the 2 traces which transfers current from one point in the model to another, without running through the board.

3.         Main Menu – Geometry – Element Links

                  Point to Point: Left Point (5.6, 3.5, .0175); Right Point (5.6, .5, .0175)

                  Connection Type = Electrical

                  Resistance = .00001

                  Apply
