Assigning a Coil for a 2D Transient Solver
To assign a coil as a transient excitation:
- Select the section of the geometry on which you want to apply the excitation (typically a 2D object).
- Click Maxwell 2D > Excitations > Assign > Coil.
(You can also right-click an existing winding in the project tree, and
select Assign Coil.)
The Coil Excitation dialog box appears. - Enter a name for the excitation in the Name box, or accept the default.
- In the Parameters section, enter the number of conductors for the coil in the Number of Conductors box.
- Select one of the following for the Polarity:
- Positive
- Negative
- Function
- If you selected Function as the Polarity, enter a function in the text box.
- Optionally, click Use Defaults to revert to the default values in the dialog box.
- Click OK to assign the coil to the selected object.
To add this coil to an existing winding:
- In the project tree, right-click the
coil terminal, and select Add to Winding.
The Add to Winding dialog box appears. - Select the winding to which you ant to add the coil terminal, and click OK.
To remove a coil terminal from an existing winding, do one of the following:
- In the Project Manager tree, right-click the coil terminal,
and select Remove from Winding.
The terminal is removed from the winding and moved up one level in the Project Manager tree (directly beneath Excitations). - Alternatively, all coils assigned to a winding may be deleted by right-clicking the winding in the Project Manager tree and selecting Delete All Coils.
