    Getting Started with Maxwell 3D (ANSOFT)

    What I would like to do is to observe the current induced in the secondary winding after applying a current in the primary winding (let's say a current with a zero phase and amplitude of 50A). In this case, I can obtain the amplitude of the current in the secondary (after setting the eddy...

    Gerbi thanks a lot for your quick answer. In the case where I just define the current in the first coil, the current in the second coil is considered to be in phase with the current in the first one...?

    Getting Started with Maxwell 3D (ANSOFT)

    Regarding a transformer-like structure: If I have two coils in the "Eddy Current" analysis i see that it is possible to define a specific current in the first one (with a specific peak current and frequency). Then Maxwell can calculate the current passing through the second coil (after setting...

    Getting Started with Maxwell 3D (ANSOFT)

    Although I could obtain a value about the output voltage similar to the one expected (the radius of the conductor does not seem to affect this value), the self-inductance of the two coils as well as the mutual inductance is different from the ones expected. Is it possible to accurately measure...

    SirAskalot thanks a lot for your answer. I agree that if I specify that eddy-currents are not induced in the conductor, a better approximation of a litz wire can be achieved. Considering the radius, I will try using different radii and see how my answer is affected. Yet i am unsure of how to...

    Getting Started with Maxwell 3D (ANSOFT)

    Hello, I am working on modeling in Maxwell an inductive charger for electric vehicles. The whole concept is quite similar to a transformer, though instead of simple windings or coils, litz wire is used. Would it be possible to design litz wire like a normal coil? Would it be all right if I...
