Boundary, Edge, Point, and Pair Nodes for the Electric Currents, Single Layer Shell Interface
The Electric Currents, Single Layer Shell Interface has these boundary, edge, point, and pair nodes available from the Physics ribbon toolbar (Windows users), Physics context menu (Mac or Linux users), or right-click to access the context menu (all users).
In general, to add a node, go to the Physics toolbar, no matter what operating system you are using. Subnodes are available by clicking the parent node and selecting it from the Attributes menu.
About the Edge and Point Conditions
The nodes in Table 4-1 are available at interfaces between different media and interior edges (in 3D components) and point conditions (in 2D and 2D axisymmetric components) in continuity; that is,
which is the natural edge/point condition.
