Coil excitation adjustment on 3D Ansys Maxwell transient analysis

[okara61]

Hi. I am making a 3D Ansys Maxwell project to design DC electromagnet. My model as in attached pictures. I have couple of questions.

1- How important the width value of sheet of coil terminal? Altough I did not change number of conductors and current of coil, changing the width of sheet of the coil terminal, the magnetic field results were changed. I knew that the terminal width value of the coil is not important.

2- When creating a coil, I assigned number of conductors to the coil sheet. That means assigning turn of coil ?

3- Is there a adjustment for assigning AWG of coil on Ansys maxwell software ?

Thank you.

1- The width of a coil terminal is important as it affects the contact area between the coil and the core, which in turn affects the magnetic field produced. It is also important to consider the resistance of the coil when the width of the terminals is changed.2- Assigning the number of conductors to the coil sheet will determine the number of turns in a coil.3- Yes, Ansys Maxwell has the ability to adjust the AWG (American Wire Gauge) of the coil. You can set the AWG value in the Coil Object Properties window.
