How to measure power in Ansoft Maxwell 3D ?

AI Thread Summary
To measure power in Ansoft Maxwell 3D, users can only utilize voltmeters and ammeters in the circuit editor, as wattmeters are not available. An alternative method suggested is to use loss parameters from the Maxwell calculator for plotting or calculating and exporting data. This approach may help in estimating power consumption for components like transformers and RL circuits. The discussion emphasizes the limitations of available measurement tools within the software. Overall, users are encouraged to explore the loss parameters for power measurement solutions.

Hi,

I would like to measure the power give from a source to a transformer and measure the power consume by a RL component. I see only voltmeter and amperemeter in circuit editor, it's not possible de put wattmeter ? Or maybe there's another solution for find the power ?

Thanks in advance ;)

Hello lba

Only volt and amperemetres can be used - from my knowledge.You can also try to use Loss parametres available in Maxwell calculator (plotting or calculationg and exporting data) but that's only my guess

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'
I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
