Electric Potential B.C. in the Dynamic/Explicit Step

Submitted by mhdiab on Fri, 04/26/2013 - 01:28

B.C.

Hey all,

I am trying to apply an Electric Potential B.C. to a surface. I want to use the dynamic/explicit analysis type, however, when I select that as my step type, the Electric Potential B.C. option disappears from the edit B.C. window! Is that due to a license limitation or an error I might have made in one of the definitions?

Thank you!

I am not clear about two concepts: thermodynamics equilibrium state and steady state. It's easy to conceive of the following different two osmosis processes regarding thermodynamics equilibrium state and steady state, respecitvely.

How to partition an hexagonal with curves corners 3D solid

Dear all,

I would like to receive an advice so as to partition in a properly way this hexagonal solid. I tryed to use partition cell extrude cell/sweep edge in the the curved edge, but the solid it has not been partitioned.

thanks in advanced

Overhead Electrical Conductors

In elementary mechanics textbooks, power lines are generally given as a typical example of a so-called “flexible cable”. However, in the design of these critical elements of a power grid it is often necessary to take into account the conductor bending stiffness, or flexural rigidity. While relatively low compared with a bar having an equivalent solid cross-section, it does have some influence on a conductor response to wind excitation, in particular from the fatigue strength point of view.
