A question about ansoft maxwell 3D 11.1 design

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on modeling a coil in Ansoft Maxwell 3D version 11.1 for transient analysis. The user encounters an error regarding coil terminal excitation during validation, specifically related to the conduction path. The solution involves defining insulating bands for each coil and ensuring that material definitions do not overlap in conduction properties. This approach resolves the validation error and allows for successful transient analysis.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Ansoft Maxwell 3D version 11.1
  • Knowledge of transient analysis in electromagnetic simulations
  • Familiarity with coil terminal definitions and excitation in simulation software
  • Basic principles of electrical conduction and material properties
NEXT STEPS
  • Review Ansoft Maxwell 3D documentation on coil terminal definitions
  • Learn about defining insulating materials in electromagnetic simulations
  • Explore tutorials on transient analysis setup in Ansoft Maxwell
  • Investigate common errors in Maxwell simulations and their resolutions
USEFUL FOR

Electrical engineers, simulation specialists, and anyone involved in electromagnetic modeling using Ansoft Maxwell 3D.

hi all,

i need some help about modeling a coil on maxwell 3D(transient analysys.).my problem is defining coil terminals.i have 6 coils(star connected) and 3 current source(star connected).i attached my work.coils are solenoid style winded.(ring style winding) and each coil has 130 turn.i design my model,i upload external circuit netlist to maxwell then i got this error when i validate my design..(by the way i try to do my analysys on transient solution type.)

"[error] Verify conduction path 'Path2': For any conduction path that has coil terminal excitation(s) specified, either exactly one internal coil terminal or two external coil terminals should be specified."

i have google it but i got nothing...
any turtorial/manual or lecture notes??or any idea how to define coil terminals?

sorry for my bad english.

Hit the "F" button on your keyboard to select object faces. Then select each coil individually and define an insulating band. The material definitions are too close in conduction properties. Maxwell is lumping them all together.
