Can i draw a helical coil around a rectangular core in Ansys maxwell?

In summary, it is possible to draw a helical coil around a rectangular core in Ansys Maxwell by using the "Wrap Coil" feature in the Coil feature library and the Coil Library to insert windings and control the coil geometry.

I am doing core loss calculations in Ansys Maxwell for a project, in which I need to draw a helical coil around a rectangular core to get a more realistic model. But I haven't really found any helpful material. I don't know if its possible, but if it is I would really appreciate your help. Thank you!

Yes, it is possible to draw a helical coil around a rectangular core in Ansys Maxwell. You can do this by creating your coil shape as a 3D curve and then using the "Wrap Coil" feature in the Coil feature library to wrap your coil around the core. You can also use the Coil Library to insert the necessary windings into your coil and control the coil geometry. I hope this helps!
