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...- jerrard

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...?- jerrard

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...- jerrard

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...- jerrard

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...- jerrard

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...- jerrard
