The Passive Conductor node is a simplified version of the
Magnet feature. It is used to model nonmagnetized conductors with thin interior or exterior electric insulation boundaries. This is useful for the fully resolved modeling of eddy currents in segmented or layered conductors. For thin iron laminates, consider modeling the material as an
effective medium and use the
Steinmetz or
Bertotti loss models supplied by the
Loss Calculation subfeature.
This section is identical to the one in the Ampère’s Law node, except for that only the options
Relative permeability,
B-H curve, and
Effective B-H curve are available here.
