AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on simulating the magnetic field generated by two AC electrodes submerged in water using Ansoft Maxwell3D. The user initially attempted to set up current excitations at both ends of the electrodes but encountered issues with achieving a symmetric magnetic field. They later connected the electrodes with a copper wire and applied excitation to the wire, but the resulting J field did not indicate a strong conduction zone in the water. The user seeks guidance on the appropriate model to use—either eddy current or transient magnetic—and how to properly set the excitation for the AC electrodes. Assistance is requested to resolve these simulation challenges effectively.

Dear All,
I'd like to simulate the magnetic field produced by two AC electrodes putting into a pool (figure 1). I am using Ansoft Maxwell3D... but i don't know how to set excitation for an AC current in this case.

the first test I put two current excitations at two ends of the electrodes (with no wire connecting between them), but it won't produce a symmetric magnetic field around each electrode... (figure 2)

I draw a small wire (copper) connecting between 2 electrodes and put excitation on middle of the wire, but I don't know why the J field did not show a strong conduction zone in the water area (figure 3)

many thanks for seeing, i have solved it ok
 
Hi All,
Sorry I wish to repost this question because I still have some problems with it. Please anyone can help me: how to simulate the magnetic field produced by 2 AC electrodes putting into a pool. I have an AC power (500Hz) with 2 electrodes, then I put the 2 two electrodes in two ends of a water channel. i would like to simulate the magnetic field produced around the water channel by using Ansoft Maxwell3D, i don't know which model should i use (eddy current or transient magnetic), and how to describe and set excitation for the AC eletrodes?

Thank you very much and best regards,

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...
