Ansys Maxwell Inductance Problem

Click For Summary
The user is experiencing a problem with Ansys Maxwell where they are not receiving any inductance results in their transient simulations for 2 phase inductors. They have previously had success with the software but now find their graphs empty of inductance data. A fellow user suggests checking the "Design Settings" and enabling the "Compute Inductance Matrix" option to resolve the issue. The original user expresses gratitude for this solution, noting they had forgotten this step. This exchange highlights a common troubleshooting tip for users of Ansys Maxwell.

Hi All,

If anyone could help me with a problem I'm having, it would be great.

I've been using Ansys Maxwell for about 6 months now, and I've gotten the hang of it. I mainly simulate 2 phase inductors. Until yesterday, I've had no problem, but for some reason, I'm not getting any inductance results in any of my transient simulations. Has anyone else come across this problmem, and does anyone know of a solution?

Just to be clear, I'm not getting the wrong answers, I'm just not getting any answers for inductances in any graphs. They are just emptry. I've used the field calculator a bit, but I'd prefer to see the plots themselves.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, Just saw your post and had a similar problem a few months ago!

If you right click your design in the project manager tree and go to "Design Settings", in there you should have a "Matrix Computation" tab, tick "Compute Inductance Matrix" and you should be able to view results!

Hope this helps!
 
Good Sir, you're a genius. I don't even remember having to do that the first time, and I've been rattling my brain for the last month trying to figure it out. Thanks for this man. Legend.
 
I am trying to understand how transferring electric from the powerplant to my house is more effective using high voltage. The suggested explanation that the current is equal to the power supply divided by the voltage, and hence higher voltage leads to lower current and as a result to a lower power loss on the conductives is very confusing me. I know that the current is determined by the voltage and the resistance, and not by a power capability - which defines a limit to the allowable...
