What type of software to configure coils, inductors, transformers?

AI Thread Summary
Users are seeking software to configure coils, inductors, transformers, and related components, emphasizing the need for basic features like core selection and component availability. There is an acknowledgment of the abundance of free and shareware options available. The original poster is experiencing issues with a coil and rotor assembly they constructed, which is not performing as expected. A user named Nugatory is mentioned but indicates they are not able to assist, as their expertise lies in software design rather than hardware configuration. The discussion highlights a need for practical software solutions in electrical engineering design.

What type of software?

Hello everyone,

I'm looking for a simple software program that I may be able to configure coils, inductors, transformers, core selection etc. Basic ic availability, selection of switches, LEDs, types/strenghths/shapes of permanent magnets. I'm aware that there is a lot of free/shareware out there. Would you know of one out there that would suit my direction of intereset.

I'm having a little issue with the coil and rotor essembly I constructed. It's not doing what I intuitivley would expect.

Thanks for all your help.

Ping @Nugatory . Can you help with this spring cleaning thread?
 
I'm sorry, but I'm no help - I made my living designing software, as opposed to designing things with software.

Thread 'Underwater piezoelectric sensor array receive sensitivity'

Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...

Thread 'Following up on the recent thread about Earth Resistance measurements'

I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...

Thread 'Question about bonding ground and neutral'

I am not an electrical engineering student, but a lowly apprentice electrician. I learn both on the job and also take classes for my apprenticeship. I recently wired my first transformer and I understand that the neutral and ground are bonded together in the transformer or in the service. What I don't understand is, if the neutral is a current carrying conductor, which is then bonded to the ground conductor, why does current only flow back to its source and not on the ground path...
