1 Advanced Techniques for Greater Accuracy, Capacity, and Speed using Maxwell 11 Julius Saitz Ansoft Corporation

2 Overview Curved versus Faceted Surfaces Mesh Operations Data Link Advanced Field Plotting Techniques Scripting Magnetization modeling Useful hints

3 Curved vs. Faceted Surfaces The Maxwell 11 interface encourages the use of curved surfaces Many CAD programs use curved surfaces Curved surfaces do not directly translate into a better solution, due to the nature of the finite tetrahedral mesh elements there is always some deviation from the curved surface and the meshed surface Using faceted surfaces can be more robust in many cases Faceted surfaces may converge in fewer iterations and may use fewer mesh elements therefore, there is a possible large speed improvement!

4 Curved vs. Faceted Surfaces Curved Faceted

5 Curved vs. Faceted Surfaces Calculate force until 1% force change and 1% Energy Error Curved Faceted Initial mesh (tets) Adaptive Passes Final mesh (tets) Simulation Time :53 min 01:08 min

6 Mesh Operations Mesh operations provide a tool of manually refining the mesh in/on selected objects The mesh determines both the field solution as well as the consistency of the results mesh operations can be used to assist both The initial mesh is determined by the geometry only mesh operations improve the mesh consistency and improve the solution process this is especially important for transient simulations Importing or linking a mesh is an advanced mesh technique that allows for efficient mesh use To assign different mesh operation select an object or face and choose Maxwell > Mesh Operations > Assign

7 Mesh Operations Surface Approximation

8 Mesh Operations Surface Approximation Initial Surface Normal Deviation 5 deg (default 15 deg) Maximum Aspect Ratio 3 (default 10) Both

9 Mesh Operations Skin Depth Based

10 Mesh Operations Skin Depth Based Initial Top and bottom face Side face

11 Mesh Operations Model Resolution Small box subtracted from the cylinder

12 Mesh Operations Model Resolution Select the object and specify the size of the small feature that needs to be ignored

13 Mesh Operations Model Resolution No model resolution Model resolution larger that the small box edge length

14 Data Link - Mesh For identical geometries Maxwell allows to reuse the existing mesh in another Design or Project through the Data Link As an example consider a solenoid which we wish to solve at two different current levels for the same position of the armature: I1 = 1000 At I2 = 5000 At

15 Data Link - Mesh 1) Solve Design 1 (5000 At) using adaptive technology 2) Link mesh from Design 1 to Design 2 3) Solve Design 2 (1000 At)

16 Data Link - Mesh

17 Data Link - Mesh 2) Link losses (Joule and possibly core) from Maxwell to ephysics) 1) Solve Eddy Current problem in Maxwell 3) Solve ephysics problem for temperature distribution

18 Advanced Field Plotting Techniques Multiple windows can be opened and arranged to show geometry, field plots, 2D and 3D graphs and tables Multiple field plots can be created, overlaid and displayed in flexible and general formats Field plots can be animated and exported Any quantity that can be derived from the solved quantities can be plotted using the functionality of the Fields Calculator

19 Multiple windows

20 Multiple plots

21 Fields Calculator Allows to define any arbitrary expression by manipulating computed field quantities and geometrical and mathematical functions Example: radial component of B Brad = Bx*cos(phi) + By*sin(phi)

22 Plot on a line Any calculated quantity or expression defined in the Fields Calculator can be plotted on a line or surface

23 Multiple windows with multiple plots

24 Surface plot - tone Color varies continuously between isovalues

25 Surface plot - lines Lines are drawn along the isovalues

26 Surface plot outlined fringe Color is constant between isovalues

27 Multiple surface plot

28 Animation of slice plots

29 Transient animation

30 Current density plot

31 Transient animation

32 Scripting Scripting is a powerful tool of automation In Maxwell everything starting from preprocessing (geometry creation), materials and boundary assignment, through analysis setup, ending with post-processing and export of data can be scripted VB Script used by default (Tools > Record/Run Script) Matlab and Java Scripts can be used if desired

33 Scripting VB Script Simple example: create a regular polyhedron

34 Scripting Matlab Replace CreateObject command with actxserver(): Set oansoftapp = CreateObject("AnsoftMaxwell.MaxwellScriptInterface") imaxwell = actxserver('ansoftmaxwell.maxwellscriptinterface'); Remove Set from the Object definitions: Set odesktop = oansoftapp.getappdesktop() Desktop = imaxwell.getappdesktop(); Use Invoke to execute the command: oeditor.createregularpolyhedron invoke(editor, 'CreateRegularPolyhedron',...

35 Scripting Matlab Replace all Arrays with the proper elements enclosed in { }: Array("NAME:CylinderParameters, {'NAME:CylinderParameters', End Maxwell session with: Delete(iMaxwell) For any strings replace with

36 Scripting Matlab Simple example: create a regular polyhedron

37 User Defined Primitives Allow automated creation and parameterization of complicated geometrical structures

38 Radial Magnetization

39 Radial Magnetization Create 2 magnet materials positive and negative direction of magnetization (R component + 1 and -1) Choose Cylindrical material coordinate system type

40 Parallel Magnetization

41 Parallel Magnetization

42 Parallel Magnetization

43 Parallel Magnetization Create 2 magnet materials positive and negative direction of magnetization (X or Y component + 1 and -1) Choose Cartesian material coordinate system type Create as many rotated or face coordinate systems as many there are magnets in the design Associate each magnet with appropriate coordinate system

44 Arbitrary Magnetization - Script Create as many magnet segments as desired (magnet discretization) Create as many different materials as many there are segments Each material will have a unique Coercive Field, Relative Permeability and Direction of Magnetization Assign appropriate material to each magnet segment

45 Arbitrary Magnetization - Script

46 Spin Observe the geometry or field plot on a self-rotating model View > Spin

47 Select All Object Faces Objects may consist of many faces that need to be selected typically for boundary assignment Edit > Select > All Object Faces

48 Visualize History of Objects Visualization is updated on subsequent history playback Tools > Options > 3D Modeler Options > Display Tab

51 Summary Curved surfaces can be conveniently used in Maxwell 11, however, their usage may slow down the mesh generation and solution process Maxwell 11 comes with variety of different Mesh Operations that provide opportunities for user to control the mesh generation if desired Data Link technology in Maxwell 11 allows powerful data exchange between different projects and designs within Maxwell as well as between Maxwell and other Ansoft products (e.g. Maxwell ephysics) Any basic quantity along with any arbitrarily defined expression in Fields Calculator can be graphically displayed using range of Field Plotting Techniques available in Maxwell 11 Maxwell 11 is fully scripted which makes from this simulation software a powerful tool of design automation
