/* Defining the Physical Structure in EM.Ferma */
For static analysis, the model can be excited with any number of Voltage Sources, Charge Sources, or Current Sources. For Quasistatic analysis, only Voltage Sources are of practical use.
 
=== Fixed-Potential PEC Objects===
A perfect electric conductor (PEC) is a material with &epsilon;<sub>r</sub> = 1 and &sigma; = &infin;.Under the static condition, every point on a PEC object has the same electric potential. By default, this is a zero potential, assuming the PEC object is "grounded". You can define a nonzero voltage value for a PEC group. In that case, the PEC object is effective turned into a voltage source. For example, tow parallel PEC plates, one with a zero potential and the other with a nonzero potential represent a simple air-filled capacitor.  To add a new Fixed-Potential PEC group to a project, right-click on "Fixed-Potential PEC Objects" on the Navigation Tree, and select "Insert New PEC..." From the PEC dialog, you can change the default red color and set a value for the "Voltage" in Volts.   === Dielectric/Magnetic Materials ===
In electromagnetic analysis, a general dielectric material is represented by four constitutive material [[parameters]]: relative permittivity &epsilon;<sub>r</sub>, relative permeability &mu;<sub>r</sub>, electric conductivity &sigma; and magnetic conductivity &sigma;<sub>m</sub>. In EM.Ferma, you can define dielectric materials for electrostatic analysis and magnetic (permeable) materials for magnetostatic analysis from the same section of the Navigation Tree titled "Dielectric/Magnetic Materials". For a dielectric material, you specify the relative permittivity &epsilon;<sub>r</sub> and electric conductivity &sigma;. For a magnetic material, you specify the relative perambility &mu;<sub>r</sub>.
In EM.FermaFrom the Dielectric Dialog, Voltage Sources are applied to you can change the default green color of a specified PEC material group that exists in or set the values of the material [[EM.Cube|EM.CUBEparameters]]'s navigation tree. All CAD objects under the specified PEC group will act as Voltage Sources.
To add a new Voltage Source to a project, right-click on "Voltage Sources" on the navigation tree, and select "Insert Voltage Source...". In the Voltage Source dialog, select the PEC group to which the specified voltage will be applied. Enter any string as the Voltage -- a text string will be interpreted as a variable which can be used for parametric design, or a parameter sweep.
