Inductance in Ansoft Maxwell SV

AI Thread Summary
To compute the inductance of a ferrite core wire-wound inductor in Ansoft Maxwell SV, users face challenges due to the software's requirement for separate material grouping. The ferrite core and copper windings must be treated as distinct objects, complicating the calculation of combined inductance. The impedance matrix generated only provides self and mutual inductance for these separate entities. Users are seeking methods to effectively calculate the inductance of both components together. Additional resources and discussions on Physics Forums may offer further insights into this issue.

I need the inductance of a simple ferrite core wire-wound inductor.

It's not clear how to get than in 2D Maxwell SV.

The core is one material (ferrite), the windings are another (Copper).

If you group them, the group must be of a single material, so no good.

If you don't group them, the inductance matrix (actually impedance matrix) accepts only separate objects. That is, it accepts the windings as one object, and the ferrite as another. It then computes the self inductance if each object, and the mutual inductance between all of them.

How do you compute the inductance of the core and windings together?

Very basic question. Consider a 3-terminal device with terminals say A,B,C. Kirchhoff Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL) establish two relationships between the 3 currents entering the terminals and the 3 terminal's voltage pairs respectively. So we have 2 equations in 6 unknowns. To proceed further we need two more (independent) equations in order to solve the circuit the 3-terminal device is connected to (basically one treats such a device as an unbalanced two-port...
suppose you have two capacitors with a 0.1 Farad value and 12 VDC rating. label these as A and B. label the terminals of each as 1 and 2. you also have a voltmeter with a 40 volt linear range for DC. you also have a 9 volt DC power supply fed by mains. you charge each capacitor to 9 volts with terminal 1 being - (negative) and terminal 2 being + (positive). you connect the voltmeter to terminal A2 and to terminal B1. does it read any voltage? can - of one capacitor discharge + of the...
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...
