pseudoPotential

pseudoPotential

Works with VSimBase, VSimEM, VSimPD, VSimPA, and VSimMD licenses.

Calculates the pseudo-potential difference, in Volts, between two points, the reference point and the measure point. pseudoPotential performs quadrature to compute the difference in pseudo potential:

\[\Phi_{pseudo}=\int_a^b {\bf E} \cdot d{\bf l}\]

between the points \(a\) (referencePoint) and \(b\) (measurePoint). The vector potential is assumed time invariant, hence the pseudo. The unit is Volt.

pseudoPotential Parameters

field (string, required): Name of the magnetic field used to compute the surface currents. Exactly one field name should be specified. For potential calculation purpose, this field should be an electric field.

referencePoint (integer vector, required): The grid indices of the reference point.

measurePoint (integer vector, required): The grid indices of the measured point.
