    Getting Started with Maxwell 3D (ANSOFT)

    I am sorry but the question you asked is way beyond the scope of this thread. It will be as long as writing a book.

    The surface on your 3D objecct that you apply current must be flush (in another word, must be on the same plane ) with the region boundary surface. The terminal surface cannot be contained inside the region. In your case, you may have to extrude your terminal surface out to get to the boundary...

    In Maxwell, for soft ferrite, you cannot use BH loop in maxwell. You need define the BH curve using the simple relation B = uH, starting from 0,0. The curve (or the date set) only reside at the first quarter, positive X-Y.

    I don't have access to Maxwell and couldn't recall any details, but such kind of error sometimes indicates that due to the movement of your object, they are out of defined region. Try animation to see the movement, and see if all objects are still within the region after moving. I could be wrong...

    Use the formula you mentioned above, and define the dataset "ds1". It cannot be a perfect rectangular wave form, you have to define a short period of time for rising and falling, such as 0.01s, depending on your frequency of the wave form. The dataset is more like, (0,0) (0.99,0) (1,1) (1.99,1)...

    Ansoft Maxwell, "cannot apply Current Excitation to non planar entity" error

    You need additional license to use multiple processors. You can take a look at your settings in Maxwell see if you can use more processors.

    Ansoft Maxwell, "cannot apply Current Excitation to non planar entity" error

    I am not very familiar with 2D simulation. With modern computers, it is very easy to use 3D model with better result. 2D simulation isn't very useful.

    The last error is because the first error. The first error, I am not sure but wonder if you have defined your solution region. In 2D simulation,the region is called balloon or something like that.

    I believe you can only plot 2D rectangular curve, B along a line, and export the X-Y data. A plan will not show in the Geometry menu, only line or point. You can plot B on a plane, like XY plane or any 2D plane you draw, but you cannot export that to a data table as that will be infinite number...

    B value (H, J for the same) can be plotted along a line, or at a point for specific value. In order to see the B value along a line, you need draw a line using the line tool. You can add a line as non model so you don't have to solve the simulation again. Once you add a line, go to Results ->...

    You need to use Electrostatic solution, then you can apply Voltage excitation on an object.

    What solution type are you using? What do you try to solve?

    Getting Started with Maxwell 3D (ANSOFT)

    There are so many details for each solution type. I can only make a general comment here. If you want to evaluate high frequency current effects, involving skin depth, eddy current and so on, you have to use real 3D model and specify the conductor as solid. This means if you have 20 turns of...

    Need to make correction. Only when you assign Voltage excitation, then DCR value need to be specified or simulated. Because DCR value is needed to get current from the Voltage. If the excitation is Current, then you cannot specify the DCR. All above are only for Transient and the excitation...
