Electrical Continuity in the Electric Currents, Layered Shell Interface
Electric potential in Electric Currents, Layered Shell Interface can be described either by the Homogenized Shell, or Layered Shell feature.
•
The Homogenized Shell feature imposes electrical continuity among all adjacent homogenized shells, regardless whether they belong to the same Layered Material.
•
The Layered Shell feature exclusively imposes electrical continuity within layered shells sharing the same Layered Material.
•
The Layered Shell feature and the Homogenized Shell feature are electrically insulated by default (even when sharing the same Layered Material). To override this insulation you can use the Homogenized Shell Connection feature.
For more information; these cases are demonstrated in the Solid to Multilayered Shell Comparison model available in the Application Library.
