As the picture showed, when I assigned a current excitation on the coil plane( pink one in image), Ansoft Maxwell alert ”current1 can not assigned on the entity of type face". This is incredible as I take the process completely based on the book!
Hi Guys,
I am modelling a simple Magnetic field in ANSOFT Maxwell 15.0. My geometry is a linear array of ring magnets (NdFe30) and spacers (iron) (OD-25mm, ID-13mm). they are arranged in a co-axial fashion and in alternating order (spacer-magnet-spacer-magnet-spacer ect.) and the magnets are...
Hi Guys,
I'm simulating a SRM in Maxwell 2D transient solution and my wingdings are external but a group of them are not able to show in the maxwell circuit editor. I've got this error: Cannot find the matching inductor in the imported file.
Can someone help me with this?
Hello, is there a way to directly use a rectangular wave as input current without using an external circuit in ansoft maxwell? The instructions from ansoft that model a toyota motor just put the sine wave function directly into the winding's current settings, can I put a rectangular wave instead...
Hello people, I am trying to model a motor in maxwell that has an array of magnets in it , the thing is that I get the non zero forces for the magnets even when there are no excitations if I choose virtual forces , I am selecting the whole array of magnets so the computation should be for the...
Hi,
I'm trying to simulate a fault current limiter at ansoft maxwell 14 and i have a problem when i put the stranded option on winding, the current that appears is always positive, with the axis above zero. Anyone can answer me what's happening and how can i fix this?

Hello everybody,I am busy with a magnetic transient 3D model and quite new in the use of Maxwell.
I am simulating a 6 pulse rectifier in double star connection (connection number 5 as per IEC 146-1-1). Each of the 6 arms of rectifier foresee 8 paralleled diodes.
I am interested to see the...
So I'm trying to run some 3D transient simulations based on magnetic field focusing/shielding, but I'm not getting the expected results. Does anyone know if Ansoft Maxwell 14.0 will solve for the magnetic fields created due to the eddy currents? It doesn't appear to.
Hello everybody i am trying to simulate some high air gap transformer. While Magnetostatic solution works fine , transient seems not to.
Actually i connect the first winding to a 90KHz voltage source and then in series with a capacitor.
The second winding in series with a Capacitor and a...
Hello everyone! I have a thesis about electromagnetic retarders. I need to do torque analysis for retarder; but I don't know how to do it on Maxwell 3D. I've tried Eddy Current solition; but analysis results didn't comply to electromagnetic retarder's torque charasteristic. Could anyone help me...
Dear all,
I've done many analysis in Maxwell, but in the last ones I'm paying special attention to the error plots. I've been ploting Energy Error and Time Error, but I've got the feeling that I don't know how to properly interpretate it.
Fist of all, to validate one simulation, should I...
Dear all,
I'm a common user of Maxwell v15, though this is the first time I've tried to work with Linear Motion and Force calculation in it.
I've got two solids translating in my model, and they get in a electromagnetic field área. I want to calculate the braking force in each object, so I've...
I am learning to use software to do some simple simulation. It seems that the Maxwell 2D/3D-parameters-assign-matrix option disappears sometimes. Under the menu of Mawell 2D-Parameters-Assign, only Force and Torque can be seen. In what cases the Matrix option is visible? What should I do if I...
Hi
i have to solve problem in maxwell ansoft in magnetic step . When i create a region (no mesh and no boundray for region) my answered is not real and it is change when i change size a region (i try to solve B in center of coordinate of coil)
For shaping an interior PMSM rotor from top figure to as in bottom fig, I made an equation based curve, united with another curve , made a surface using coverline and united that shape with my rotor.
When validated it showed band and rotor intersecting and I adjusted the band - DiaGap. Then...
Hi
I'm having an issue ANSOFT MAXWELL :
Assigning a permanent magnetic material to a body (for ex NDFE35) provides me a means of setting the magnetization direction (through x,y,z unit vectors ) inside the material settings
so if i have multiple PM bodies rotated :-
1- do i need to create a...
Hello,
I have to compare the real solution of the electric field radiated by a sphere, having 10 cm radius, charged with 1e-012 C (perfect conductor), something like E=f(x) where x is distance from the sphere, from 0m (surface of the sphere) to 1m, with numerical solution. I tried Ansoft...

Hello!
I am a student of electrical engineering. I got assigned to a project where I need to simulate a coil in Maxwell 15 and a ball which floats in the magnetic field of the coil. This is for an experiment for demonstrating magnetsim, so my task is to find out what dimensions the coil needs...
I try to import a sab. Modeltyp in Ansoft 15. but i receive an error that translation for the model is failed or saved file is from a later version. how can i fix the problem.
Thank you .
Hello,
I want to simulate a coil of a transformer in Maxwell (3D), but my problem is: the coil design is not a closed path. Imagine that you draw a ring and then you cut part of it. You get something like a "letter C". In these two terminals I`m going to put an excitation (100A, for...
I am designing an energy harvester consisting of a magnetic spring.

Hello guys
Does anyone use Maxwell Ansoft?
If so, have you tried to export it to Excell? if so do u use any MATLAB code to convert it? or use macros in excell?
Thanks
Hi,
I'm tring to explore magnetic field of the contact system, but when I set the current on a face, i have the next error:

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...
