Ansys Maxwell - Coordinate System Limitations

AI Thread Summary
Ansys Maxwell has a limitation of defining only 255 coordinate systems (CS) for simulations, which can hinder the modeling of multiple permanent magnets (PM). Users have reported that while new CS can be created beyond this limit, they cannot be assigned to PMs. The issue is primarily associated with older versions of the software. Upgrading to newer versions of the ANSYS Electronics Suite resolves this limitation. Therefore, using updated software is recommended for complex simulations involving numerous coordinate systems.

Hi everybody, I encountered a problem simulation of permanent magnets (PM) in Ansys Maxwell. There are many PM in my simulation and I need to define for each of them a proper coordinate system (CS). But I could only defined 255 CS. After that I can create new CS but It won't be possible to assign it to the PM. Is there any limitation on defining more than 255 CS?

Actually I was able to solve the problem. Older versions have limitations. The problem will be solved by modeling in new versions.
ANSYS Electronics Suite instead of Ansoft Maxwell!

Thread 'Following up on the recent thread about Earth Resistance measurements'

I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...

Thread 'Electromagnet magnetic field issue'

Thread 'Electromagnet magnetic field issue'

Hi Guys We are a bunch a mechanical engineers trying to build a simple electromagnet. Our design is based on a very similar magnet. However, our version is about 10 times less magnetic and we are wondering why. Our coil has exactly same length, same number of layers and turns. What is possibly wrong? PIN and bracket are made of iron and are in electrical contact, exactly like the reference design. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks. edit: even same wire diameter and coil was wounded by a...

Thread 'Beauty of old electrical and measuring things, etc.'

Even as a kid, I saw beauty in old devices. That made me want to understand how they worked. I had lots of old things that I keep and now reviving. Old things need to work to see the beauty. Here's what I've done so far. Two views of the gadgets shelves and my small work space: Here's a close up look at the meters, gauges and other measuring things: This is what I think of as surface-mount electrical components and wiring. The components are very old and shows how...
