AI Thread Summary
A user is seeking guidance on modeling an axial flux permanent magnet generator using Ansoft Maxwell, expressing difficulty in finding tutorials and connecting wires in series without terminals. They have created a rough draft geometry but are unsure about defining current sources and inputting coil turns. Another user offers assistance, sharing their experience with Maxwell and noting that simulation results typically align closely with physical models, although various factors can affect accuracy. The conversation shifts to email communication for more detailed support. Additionally, another user requests help measuring magnetic flux density in Maxwell 2D.

Hello,

I am new to using Maxwell and I can not find a good tutorial anywhere. I am trying model an axial flux permanent magnet generator, but I have no where to start. Anyone have any suggestions, tips or anything?

Thanks

This appears to be a duplicate post.
 
Well I have created a rough draft geometry. I used cylinders for wires which are around another cylinder that are washers. I am unsure of how to connect the wires in series since there are no terminals? Also, I am unsure of how to input the amount of turns the coil has.

Any help would be nice
 
So after some reading, coil of wires are assumed to be connected in series. With that said, how do I define where the current will come from? I know I have to use eddy currents solution, but I am unsure how to go about this.

Thanks
 
Hi,
Do you still need help in Maxwell? I did many projects using Ansoft Maxwell and I am ready to share...

Cheers
 
Hey there,

Yes I could use you help! The tech support is not very helpful. Message me your email so we can talk if that's ok. Thanks!
 
I created the geometry and inputed all the materials and what not, but when i simulate, i do not get results anywhere near the physical model generator we built.
 
Hello,
My email is sasa.oparnica@gmail.com. I hope that I can help. I have to warn you, english is not my native language, so forgive me if I make mistakes...

Cheers
 
From my experience, simulation results are very close to the bench model. Error is less than 10% and I did hundred different simulations and compare them with real model. But, there is too much variables that can produce totally different results. I need more info…

Cheers

I will send you an email describing my simulation and everything you will need to know.

hi
I'm working in maxwell 2d,I want to measuring Magnetic flux density of a NdFeB bar magnet on the spline using Field Calculator
is there anyone who can help me?
Thanks
