Identifier defining a source

COIL_LINE_APPROX_LIMIT#

COIL_LINE_APPROX_LIMIT(17)#
Data type:

Real number (E, >= 0)

Description:

Specifies the distance threshold beyond which the line-current approximation is applied from a COIL.

The default is 1000. Increasing the value applies the line-current approximation only at more distant positions. Specifying 0 leaves the default unchanged.
