Transient Solver
The transient field simulator computes the time-domain magnetic fields in 2D or 3D. The source of the magnetic fields can be
- moving or non-moving time-varying currents and voltages.
- moving or non-moving permanent magnets and/or coils.
- moving or non-moving external circuit coupling.
The quantities for which the transient field simulator solves are the magnetic field, H, and the current distribution, J; the magnetic flux density, B, is automatically calculated from the H-field. Derived quantities such as forces, torques, energy, speed, position, winding flux linkage, and winding induced voltage may be calculated from these basic field quantities.
Note: If A-Phi Formulation is selected as the 3D Transient solver, refer to Maxwell 3D Transient Solution Based on A-Phi Formulation for details.
