Inductance in Ansoft Maxwell SV

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on calculating the inductance of a ferrite core wire-wound inductor using Ansoft Maxwell SV. Users face challenges in obtaining the inductance due to the software's requirement for grouping materials; the ferrite core and copper windings must be treated as separate entities. The inductance matrix generated by Maxwell SV computes self and mutual inductance only when the components are not grouped together. Participants seek methods to effectively compute the combined inductance of the core and windings.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Ansoft Maxwell SV software
  • Knowledge of electromagnetic theory related to inductance
  • Familiarity with material properties of ferrite and copper
  • Experience with impedance matrices in circuit analysis
NEXT STEPS
  • Research methods for calculating combined inductance in Ansoft Maxwell SV
  • Explore the use of impedance matrices for inductive components
  • Learn about the properties of ferrite materials in electromagnetic applications
  • Investigate alternative simulation tools for inductance calculations
USEFUL FOR

Electrical engineers, simulation specialists, and anyone involved in designing inductive components using Ansoft Maxwell SV will benefit from this discussion.

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?
