This is a dialog page of the Material Parameters dialog box.

On this dialog page the electric and magnetic conductivity characteristic of the current material can be specified.  All input parameters are also available for an anisotropic material type.

The introduction of losses leads to complex material parameters, possessing both a real and an imaginary part. For all possible loss definitions on this page the real part is always determined by the permittivity or the permeability value, respectively, on the Material Parameter - General page.

Electric conductivity frame

Electric conductivity: Defines a conducting material based on the model of a constant electric conductivity value.

Nonlinear: This checkbox enables setting of the nonlinear electric conductivity. Button Properties... opens the Nonlinear Electric Conductivity dialog, where the E(J)-curve can be defined.
