Add the Circuit Elements

To add the circuit elements in Maxwell Circuit Editor:

  1. Click Project > Insert Maxwell Circuit Design.
    The circuit sheet appears.
  2. Place the winding circuit element on the sheet:
  1. In the Component Libraries, under Maxwell Circuit Elements > Dedicated Elements, select the Winding element.
  2. Drag it onto the sheet.
  3. Right-click, and select Finish to place the component.
  4. To view the properties, double-click the component in the Schematic window.
    The Properties window appears.
  5. Change the Name to currentwinding, the same name you used when defining the winding in the Maxwell design.
  6. Click OK.
  7. Click Draw>Rotate, and position the winding vertically.
  1. Place a resistor on the sheet:
  1. In the project tree, under Passive Elements, select Resistor.
  2. Drag the resistor onto the sheet.
  3. Right-click, and select Finish to place it where desired.
  4. 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.
  1. Place a voltage pulse on the sheet:
  1. In the project tree, under Sources select a VPulse element (Pulse Voltage Source).
  2. Drag it to the sheet, and then right-click and select Finish to place it onto the sheet.
  3. Double-click the source element symbol on the sheet, and then specify the following source characteristics:
