Computer Simulation of Wireless Induction?

AI Thread Summary
Software for simulating magnetic induction is essential for analyzing the impact of distance and winding numbers on transfer efficiency between coils. Users recommend finite element method (FEM) software as the industry standard for electromagnetics simulations. While Maxwell's student version is no longer available, alternatives can be found on Wikipedia's list of finite element software packages. Programs like Tina and Simulink are limited to ideal transformers and do not account for real-world flux losses. Recommendations for specific FEM software were requested to aid in the research.

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

Thread 'Underwater piezoelectric sensor array receive sensitivity'

Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...

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 'Question about bonding ground and neutral'

I am not an electrical engineering student, but a lowly apprentice electrician. I learn both on the job and also take classes for my apprenticeship. I recently wired my first transformer and I understand that the neutral and ground are bonded together in the transformer or in the service. What I don't understand is, if the neutral is a current carrying conductor, which is then bonded to the ground conductor, why does current only flow back to its source and not on the ground path...
