Get Started

The Simulation of Actuators in Ansys Maxwell Software course consists of 3 parts.

This course covers the first part that introduces the concepts of design methodology and simulation techniques to speed up the design of linear actuators and solenoids. It will guide you through best practices for static and transient parametric studies to optimize actuators, and it will show the benefits of the distributed parallel solutions. The effect of magnetic diffusion on the performance of actuators is also discussed. It consists of three lecture and five workshop videos with instructions and simulation files.

Learning Outcomes: 

Following completion of this course, you will be able to:

  • Decide when to use static and transient solvers in Ansys Maxwell® advanced electromagnetic field solver
    for actuator design.
  • Simulate static and dynamic actuator’s behaviour in term of forces, losses, tripping times, etc.
  • Perform the parametric analysis on various design parameters of an actuator.
  • Simulate the side loading effects as a function of eccentricity and airgap on the performance of an actuator.
  • Include the Magnetic diffusion in the simulation to predict the time delays in the actuator operation.
  • Perform multi goal optimization analysis by coupling Ansys Maxwell software and Ansys optiSLang® process integration and design optimization software.

Prerequisites: 

  • Familiarity with Ansys Maxwell software.

Please note: These training materials were developed and tested in the 2023R2 release.
