[KANTUBHUKTA HEMANTH HARI KISHORE]

Greetings to everyone!

I hope you are doing well. I'm Hari Kishore, currently pursuing my Masters. 

I'm doing transient analysis in ANSYS Maxwell to get the magnetic field distribution on the tube.

Here, I want to give excitation to the coil terminal, which involves discharge capacitance, discharge voltage (of the capacitor bank), line resistance, line inductance, and crowbar resistance. If I use voltage excitation, I'm unable to give the capacitance that is required for a particular discharge energy.

Here, how can I give this type of excitation? Could you please guide me this way?

I've attached an image for your reference.

Thank you.

Hi @Kantubhukta, there is no capacitance option in Voltage excitation, but you can add use external circuit excitation like MaxCir or Simplorer.

Thank you, DELI.

I've designed a Maxwell circuit as shown in the figure, representing the elements shown in my previous figure (except exact values).

Is this circuit design the correct representation? I've modeled a tube and coil in Maxwell and plotted force on the tube. I wanted to get a force curve as shown in the figure, which increases first and then decreases. But with the above circuit design, I'm getting a force curve that is continuously increasing.

Could you please guide me to get the correct force plot?

Thank you for your consideration and valuable time.
