How to include a capacitor to an Ansoft Maxwell 3D eddy current design

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on integrating a capacitor into an eddy current design using Ansoft Maxwell 3D. Users confirmed that the eddy current solver does not support discrete components like capacitors; instead, the transient solver and Maxwell Circuit Editor must be utilized. One user, SAM, is attempting to analyze the B field distribution of a resonance loop with a series capacitor but is encountering issues with the B field distribution not being available in the design.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Ansoft Maxwell 3D software
  • Familiarity with transient solvers in electromagnetic simulations
  • Knowledge of circuit design principles
  • Experience with B field distribution analysis
NEXT STEPS
  • Research how to effectively use the Maxwell Circuit Editor with transient solvers
  • Study tutorials on B field distribution analysis in Ansoft Maxwell 3D
  • Explore documentation on integrating discrete components in electromagnetic simulations
  • Learn troubleshooting techniques for B field distribution issues in eddy current designs
USEFUL FOR

Electrical engineers, electromagnetic simulation specialists, and anyone involved in designing and analyzing eddy current systems using Ansoft Maxwell 3D.

Hi experts,
I wonder anyone of you have an idea on whether we can include a discrete component (specifically a capacitor) into an "Ansoft Maxwell 3D" eddy current design. Little more description: I do have a specific eddy current design with a coils. I need to add a series capacitor and analyze the fields.
Thanks in advance.

Hi
In eddy current solver there is no such a possibility. To do this, use transient solver and maxwell cicruit editor.
 
Hi gerbi,
Thanks for the prompt response. I will try on that path.. further, if you have any help doc explains working with both (Ansoft Maxwell & Circuit editor) together can you pls share with me.
Thanks

Send me a PM with your email address. I have some Maxwell tutorials.

Thanks. PM Sent.
 
Hi,

I followed similar steps in the manual using transient solution along with Maxwell circuit editor. My target is to achieve B field distribution of a resonance loop with a series capacitor. (circuit and model is attached.)

My issue is B field distribution is not available with my design.
Can you please advice me where did I do wrong.

Thank you very much!

Thread 'uA709 op amp compensation'

Most likely this can only be answered by an "old timer". I am making measurements on an uA709 op amp (metal can). I would like to calculate the frequency rolloff curves (I can measure them). I assume the compensation is via the miller effect. To do the calculations I would need to know the gain of the transistors and the effective resistance seen at the compensation terminals, not including the values I put there. Anyone know those values?
