For 3D components, from the Condition for the x = x0 plane, Condition for the y = y0 plane, and Condition for the z = z0 plane lists, choose Off (the default), Symmetric (infinite magnetic insulation plane), or Antisymmetric (infinite ground plane). Then enter the value for the plane location x0, y0, or z0 (SI unit: m) as required.

For 3D components, select the Infinity condition — Magnetic insulation (the default) or Zero magnetic scalar potential at infinity. If there is an antisymmetric symmetry in the potential field, it acts as an added infinite ground plane with a fixed value of the magnetic scalar potential. The value at infinity is fixed to 0 by the presence of the infinite ground plane, so for this case there is only a fixed Zero magnetic scalar potential at infinity condition.

For 2D components, select the Infinity condition — Magnetic insulation (the default) or Zero magnetic scalar potential at reference distance. If there is an antisymmetric symmetry in the potential field, it acts as an added ground line with a fixed value of the magnetic scalar potential. The value at a reference distance is fixed to 0 by the presence of the ground line, so for this case there is only a fixed Zero magnetic scalar potential at reference distance condition.
