The revolved conductor type is a cylindrically symmetric current sheet obtained by revolving a polygon about an axis. Since the revolved object is used to represent a body uniformly magnetized parallel to its axis, the surface current density is proportional to cos(theta), where theta is the angle between the axis and the surface normal. The current of the power supply is interpreted as the magnetization in tesla. For this object, a command sequence must be entered to specify the polygon to be revolved. First you must specify the density of loops which will be used in the calculation of the magnetic field, by the command resolution 0.5 mm If resolution is zero or missing, then wireDiameter is used instead. Specify the polygon by giving the starting point and sequence of motions in the (x,z) plane. For example, a truncated cone:
start 2 0 mm goto 8 -6 mm goto 1 -6 mm goto 1 0 mm
The resolution can be changed during the specification to allow some parts of the polygon to be described by a higher density of loops. The polygon should be specified clockwise in the x-z plane. If specified counter-clockwise, include the command reverse in the path description. The revolved polygon is drawn using nphi angular steps. The value of nphi has no effect on the magnetic field.
