Workshop 5: Basic Transient Sources and Circuit 16.0 Release ANSYS Maxwell 3D 2015 1 2015 ANSYS, Inc. March 19, 2015
Transient Setup About Workshop This workshop discusses basic setup details of Magnetic Transient solver The transient setup is described with two different excitation methods Example 1: Transient With Sources This example shows setup of Transient solver with time varying excitation applied through datasets and equation. Final assigned excitation is evaluated based on combined output of both methods Exampled 2: Transient With Circuits This example explains the setup of transient excitations through External Circuit method. The excitation circuit is setup using Maxwell Circuit Editor Maxwell excitation values are calculated based on the circuit model assigned through circuit editor 2 2015 ANSYS, Inc. March 19, 2015

Analyze Run Solution Solution setup is already copied from original design Select the menu item Maxwell 3D Analyze All Note: When an external circuit is defined, the time step is controlled from the circuit simulator. The time step values are calculated based circuit transients and occurrences such as switching instances. Due to variable time steps resulting from circuit, Maxwell can miss the Save Fields points if defined in Solution Setup. Thus fields of the next time step occurring after the missed point will be saved. Users can set the minimum time step size used for circuit simulator from Maxwell 3D Excitations External Circuit Set Minimum Time Step. 22 2015 ANSYS, Inc. March 19, 2015
