Add the Circuit Elements
To add the circuit elements in Maxwell Circuit Editor:
- Click Project > Insert
Maxwell Circuit Design.
The circuit sheet appears. - Place the winding circuit element on the sheet:
- In the Component Libraries, under Maxwell Circuit Elements > Dedicated Elements, select the Winding element.
- Drag it onto the sheet.
- Right-click, and select Finish to place the component.
- To view the properties, double-click
the component in the Schematic window.
The Properties window appears. - Change the Name to currentwinding, the same name you used when defining the winding in the Maxwell design.
- Click OK.
- Click Draw>Rotate, and position the winding vertically.
- Place a resistor on the sheet:
- In the project tree, under Passive Elements, select Resistor.
- Drag the resistor onto the sheet.
- Right-click, and select Finish to place it where desired.
- Double-click the symbol of the resistor, change the value of the resistor, R, to 3.09, keep the Unit value set to ohm, and click OK. The default is 100 Ohms.
- Place a voltage pulse on the sheet:
- In the project tree, under Sources select a VPulse element (Pulse Voltage Source).
- Drag it to the sheet, and then right-click and select Finish to place it onto the sheet.
- Double-click the source element symbol
on the sheet, and then specify the following source characteristics:
