This dialog offers the possibility to define the nonlinear electric conductivity as a dependency of electric field strength E on conduction current density J:
Spline interpolation is applied between the user-defined points. From this curve, the dependency of electric conductivity on electric field is computed:
Both J and E values of the curve must be positive, the curve must be monotonously increasing. For electric field strength below the first user-defined point, the material is assumed to be linear. For extremely high field strengths beyond the user-defined interval the linear increase of electric conductivity as a function of E is assumed.
The resulting nonlinear electric conductivity can be utilized by the tetrahedral-based stationary currents solver.
OK
Accepts the input and closes the dialog. Please note that at least three data points must be defined for correct interpolation.
