Computer Simulation of Wireless Induction?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the need for software to simulate magnetic induction, specifically focusing on the impact of distance and the number of windings on transfer efficiency between coils. The user, AJ, has explored tools like Tina and Simulink but finds them inadequate for realistic simulations, particularly regarding flux loss. A recommendation for using Finite Element Method (FEM) software is provided as the industry standard for electromagnetics simulations. A link to a Wikipedia page listing available FEM software packages is also mentioned.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of magnetic induction principles
  • Familiarity with Finite Element Method (FEM) software
  • Basic knowledge of coil design and efficiency factors
  • Experience with simulation tools like Simulink
NEXT STEPS
  • Research specific FEM software options for magnetic induction simulations
  • Learn about the effects of coil winding configurations on efficiency
  • Explore the role of iron cores in reducing flux loss
  • Investigate advanced simulation techniques for electromagnetic fields
USEFUL FOR

Engineers, researchers, and students interested in electromagnetic simulations, particularly those focusing on magnetic induction and coil efficiency optimization.

I was just wondering if anyone knew of software that would allow me to simulate magnetic induction.

I'm researching into the effects distance and the number of windings has on the effect of transfer efficiency between two coils.

I've seen lots of people mention Maxwell, but they seem to have discontinued their student version. I've used programs such as Tina and Simulink, but they only seem to let me do an ideal transformer, and presumably (i'm an engineer not a physicist :-/) there will be lot of flux lost through the air transfer, hence the use of an Iron Core.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

AJ
