SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on simulating the magnetic field generated by two AC electrodes submerged in a pool using Ansoft Maxwell3D. The user initially attempted to set up current excitations at the electrodes without a connecting wire, resulting in an asymmetric magnetic field. They later connected the electrodes with a copper wire and applied excitation in the middle, but encountered issues with the J field not displaying a strong conduction zone in the water. The user seeks guidance on the appropriate simulation model (eddy current or transient magnetic) and how to properly set the AC excitation for the electrodes.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with Ansoft Maxwell3D software
  • Understanding of AC circuit theory and excitation methods
  • Knowledge of magnetic field simulation techniques
  • Basic principles of electromagnetic fields and eddy currents
NEXT STEPS
  • Research how to set AC current excitations in Ansoft Maxwell3D
  • Learn about the differences between eddy current and transient magnetic models
  • Explore methods for simulating magnetic fields in conductive fluids
  • Investigate troubleshooting techniques for electromagnetic simulations
USEFUL FOR

Electrical engineers, simulation specialists, and researchers involved in electromagnetic field analysis and fluid dynamics who are using Ansoft Maxwell3D for their projects.

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,
