Analog Simulation of the Electric Field in Rare Earth Electrolytic Cell

By using the multiple elements and multiple properties of ANSYS software,a electric field model of anode and molten electrolyte as a whole in rare earth electrolytic cell was built and computed.The voltage and current density distribution on the surface of the anode in practical rare earth electrolytic cell is simulated with relation to different anode distance and different anode deepness.The result provides a more accurate analysis of the boundary conditions for the other field in rare earth electrolytic cell.
