PEC

For PEC materials, all interior electric fields are zero.

In many cases, highly conductive metals such as silver, copper, aluminum, and iron, can be modeled as perfectly conducting.

Defining and assigning PEC materials
  1. Check to make sure all of the relevant structures in the Structure Tree are checked to make them visible.

  2. Click Materials Material Image 16 color within the Definitions section under the EMA3D tab in the ribbon.

  3. Click PECTree Image 16 PEC in the drop-down list.

    PEC 1
  4. Click on the appropriate selection tool (i.e., body Select Body Image 16, surface Select Surface Image 16 , or line Select Line Image 16) tool in the top left of the model window to restrict the assignment definition.

  5. To assign material properties, either select the geometric entity in the model window or in the Structure Tree.

    PEC 2
  6. The selected surfaces will be recolored mustard in the model window.

    PEC 3
  7. To hide the color and revert to the original, more transparent view, uncheck the check box next to PEC under the Definitions node in the Simulation Tree or uncheck Definitions to hide all materials.

  8. Click Check Image 16 to complete the material assignments.
