2 infinite

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

hello
i'm having trouble, trying to simulate, 2 adjacent wires (one above the other) with external current density passing through them and I'm trying to measure the magnetic flux created.
the problem starts when I'm trying to set one of the wires to be infinite.
I tried to cut the wire into 3 pieces and defined the external 2 as infinite elements, but it didn't work.
any idea what i did wrong?

Hi Orokin,

Perhaps do you have defined the infinite elements in a cylinder as it is preset and is trying to extrapolate the outter bondaries of the cylinder to infinite, which probably is not what you are interested in.

Check if you are using the default cylinder extrapolation, if so right click and add manually the extrapolation nodes by writting in each box in which direction should the cylinder extend its boundaries.

BR.
