Ansys (Synopsys)
Ansys Maxwell
Ansys Maxwell supports low-frequency electromagnetic field simulation for motors, transformers and devices.
On the software discovery list. Connector development and release dates have not been announced.
Workflow ideas
Build an electromagnetic model
Begin with the device geometry, materials and frequency or operating range. In the intended Ansys Maxwell preview, build an electromagnetic model; the visible result is an electromagnetic model with regions and conductors identified. Review material properties, units, symmetry and geometric fidelity before accepting or exporting it.
Define excitations and materials
Use the selected excitations, ports and sweep controls. In the intended Ansys Maxwell preview, define excitations and materials; the visible result is a configured solve state with boundaries and source definitions visible. Review reference directions, mesh refinement and solution setup before accepting or exporting it.
Review fields and losses
Start from the field solution and derived performance quantities. In the intended Ansys Maxwell preview, review fields and losses; the visible result is field plots, losses or network results linked to the selected design. Review convergence, energy balance, sweep resolution and design limits before accepting or exporting it.
