How to Simulate 3-Axis Helmholtz Coil in Maxwell 3D?

Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on simulating a 3-axis Helmholtz coil in Maxwell 3D, with the original poster seeking guidance on the correct coil ratios and current excitations. They express uncertainty about their model's accuracy and request examples of H or B field plots for comparison. Participants inquire about the type of current used (DC or AC), the intended application for the magnetic field, and the dimensions of the coils and the desired magnetic field volume. The conversation aims to clarify these technical aspects to ensure accurate simulation results. The thread encourages sharing of models and insights to enhance understanding of Helmholtz coil simulations.

First of all, hello to all of you.

My question is, I want to simulate 3-axis Helholtz Coil in Maxwell 3d. I made some models of it, but I am not sure I got all right - especially ration of coils in x-y-z and their current excitation.

Second, i'd like to see H field, or B field plot if some of you has it, as I am not sure if mine is alright.

thanks in advance, and I hope this topic will get to live!

Can you show us what you have so far? Are the coils excited with DC or AC currents? Can you say what you are going to use the 3-D steerable magnetic field for? How large are the coils going to be, and how high will the field be? How large is the volume that you want to fill with the magnetic field from the 3 pairs of coils?
 
I am trying to understand how transferring electric from the powerplant to my house is more effective using high voltage. The suggested explanation that the current is equal to the power supply divided by the voltage, and hence higher voltage leads to lower current and as a result to a lower power loss on the conductives is very confusing me. I know that the current is determined by the voltage and the resistance, and not by a power capability - which defines a limit to the allowable...
