Product: Abaqus/CAE
Benefits: The load category choices were revised and the boundary condition category choices were expanded to reflect the availability of prescribed conditions for electromagnetic analyses in Abaqus/CAE and to improve usability.
Description: With the addition of support for prescribed conditions in an electromagnetic analysis in Abaqus/CAE, the Electrical load category was renamed to Electrical/Magnetic. Load types that were previously listed in the Electrical category are now listed in the Electrical/Magnetic category, and Surface current density and Body current density have been added.
A new Electrical/Magnetic boundary condition category was added. Electric potential, previously listed in the Other category, is now listed in the Electrical/Magnetic category, and Magnetic vector potential has been added.
Figure 8–1 and Figure 8–2 show the new category choices. The category choices available are dependent upon the type of analysis procedures you are performing.
Figure 8–1 Load types available in the Electrical/Magnetic category for a time-harmonic electromagnetic analysis.
Figure 8–2 Boundary condition type available in the Electrical/Magnetic category for a static, general procedure.
