Output (for Geometry Analysis)
The Output subnode is available from the context menu (right-click the Geometry Analysis parent node) or from the Physics toolbar, Attributes menu. Use it to specify the boundaries where the wires exit the domain in an open coil. Used in combination with the Input (for Geometry Analysis) node, it defines the direction of the current flow (from Input to Output). No Output subnode is required in a closed-loop coil.
When using the default settings, the wire direction is forced to be orthogonal to the boundary. Use the Slanted cut check box to allow for an angle between the wire direction and the output normal (see section Slanted Cut).
For an open coil, the Input subnode should never be added to boundaries that are interior to the coil’s domain selection. Note also that an open coil should have its start (Input) and end (Output) on boundaries that are exterior to the domain selection of the parent physics (for example, Magnetic Fields) and of a type that supports closure of the coil by means of an induced surface current density. The latter condition means Magnetic Insulation and, in the frequency domain, Impedance Boundary Condition.
