Modify Winding Setup––––

Note: When Excitation Type is set to External, External circuit will be used to calculate inputs for winding© 2013 ANSYS, Inc. May 21, 2013 17 Release 14.5

Create External Circuit Launch Maxwell Circuit Editor– Select the menu item Maxwell 3D Excitations External Circuit Edit External Circuit– In Edit External Circuit window, Select Edit Circuit– Maxwell Circuit Editor will launch in separate window

In Maxwell Circuit Editor a Component is created by default corresponding to winding in Maxwell. The name of the winding is same as as used in Maxwell in Maxwell 3D> Excitations> Add Winding. If users add winding by themselves they should ensure these names match
