A boundary condition is used to specify field behavior on the surfaces of the design model. Each of these surfaces can have it's own unique boundary condition assigned or multiple adjoining surfaces can share the same boundary condition.

There are two types of boundary conditions in ElecNet: Unary and Binary.

Unary conditions specify the field behavior on a given surface. These include:

• Flux Tangential
• Ground

Binary conditions specify a relationship between two surfaces, either Even or Odd Periodic.

Flux Tangential and Ground boundary conditions can be used to model symmetry planes and truncate the solution domain.

Even and odd binary constraints are used for efficient modeling of periodic structures.
