How to design coil terminals for maxwell3D transient?

[Ritwik Chattopadhyay]

In magnetostatic simulation model I design the winding as a volume of copper and assign a single plane on the volume of copper as current excitation terminal to define the winding current value and its direction.

In transient model when I am creating coil terminal for a winding, I need to create two terminals, one for current entry and the other for current exit, for transient simulation with maxwell circuit editor. My question is how do I create two terminals for the winding which is created as a single volume of copper?

Hello,

Thank you for sharing your question. It sounds like you are working on a magnetostatic simulation model and a transient model for a winding. In the magnetostatic model, you have designed the winding as a single volume of copper and have assigned a single plane as the current excitation terminal. However, in the transient model, you need to create two terminals for the winding - one for current entry and one for current exit.

To create these two terminals in the transient model, you can use the Maxell Circuit Editor. First, select the volume of copper that represents your winding and assign it as a circuit component. Then, you can use the "Create Terminal" option in the Circuit Editor to define the two terminals. You can specify the current entry terminal as the terminal where the current enters the winding and the current exit terminal as the terminal where the current exits the winding.

Alternatively, if you have already defined the winding as a single volume of copper, you can use the "Split Volume" option in the Circuit Editor to divide the volume into two separate volumes. Then, you can assign each of these volumes as a separate winding and define the appropriate terminals for each.

I hope this helps answer your question. If you need further assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out.
