We are talking about connectivity problem in case of non-simply connected objects (see picture below), objects with holes such as closed magnetic circuit or closed electric loop.

In Flux there could be two different connectivity problems:

  • Magnetic connectivity problem in the case of closed magnetic circuit
  • Electric connectivity problem in the case of closed electric loop

In the case of such problems it is needed to introduce cuts (magnetic or electric) created automatically by Flux.
