Predicting Accurate Winding Losses in Power Applications with Ansys Maxwell 

In this video we highlight the new Maxwell 2022 R1 capabilities to predict AC losses in the winding configurations by employing Litz Wire modeling based on two-way thermal coupling with thermal solvers. Maxwell provides an accurate representation of the conductive region accounting for the AC effects that cause AC losses. The conductive properties are altered by the temperature feedback received from Ansys thermal solvers through Workbench or AEDT. This significantly reduces the number of finite elements and design unknowns, vastly improving simulation efficiency.
It also illustrates system push-back excitation for Maxwell 2D/3D magnetic transients that provides with a faster alternative to simulate designs such as electric drive systems which require detailed FEA analysis.
