Current Density

In one sentence: Prescribe the electric current density (A/m²) as a Neumann boundary condition on a face.


Overview

Workbench: FEM
Menu: FEM → Model → Electromagnetic BCs → Current Density

Prescribes the electric current density on a face — the electromagnetic equivalent of a heat flux load. Use when the current flowing through a surface is known rather than the voltage.


Parameters

Current density (x, y, z) Current density vector components (A/m²)
