Ansys Maxwell Inductance Problem

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on a problem encountered by users of Ansys Maxwell, specifically regarding the absence of inductance results in transient simulations of 2-phase inductors. A solution was provided, which involves accessing the "Design Settings" in the project manager tree and enabling the "Compute Inductance Matrix" option. This adjustment allows users to view the desired inductance results in their simulations. The solution effectively resolves the issue of empty graphs for inductance outputs.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with Ansys Maxwell software

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.
