Electromagnetics material options let you simulate electrical and magnetic
behavior of materials using solvers contained in CST Studio Suite
Connected and in other SIMULIA electromagnetic simulation apps.
Depending on the app and the type of the solver used, you can define the following
electromagnetic material models:
Surface model: Approximates the behavior of good electric conductors
(metals) exposed to high-frequency electromagnetic fields. At high
frequencies the electromagnetic fields are concentrated in a very thin
volume near the conductor's surface. This propagation (skin depth
effect) is described by a dedicated material model which does not
require the discretization of the material volume.
Volume model: Describes volumetric electrical and magnetic properties of
materials. This model is applied for low-frequency electromagnetic
simulations where the electromagnetic field propagates inside the
material and the propagation depth is large.
