Initial Condition and State
The Initial Condition and State are volume conditions in the Electric Field module pertaining to selected Volumes. Specify Initial Condition and State in the Electric Field module as follows:
Geometric Entities > Volumes > [Desired Volume]
In the Model tab, select Electric Field > [Specified Voltage]
The corresponding voltage is specified under Value. By default, the initial voltage is 0 V.
State
The State of a Volume within the Electric Field module determines whether the corresponding governing equation is solved (Active) or not solved (Blanked) within that volume. Setting the State of a volume to Blanked for the Electric Field module is equivalent to the volume acting as a perfect electrical insulator. The State is specified as follows.
Geometric Entities > Volumes > [Desired Volume]
In the Model tab, select Electric Field > State > Active or Blanked
