[KANTUBHUKTA HEMANTH HARI KISHORE]

Hello everyone,

I hope this message finds you well. I'm Hari Kishore, doing a transient analysis of a tube and coil system in ANSYS Maxwell.

My model consists of a tube, an expansion coil placed inside the tube, and two end coils placed on either side of the tube, as shown in the figure.

The axial direction is the Z-direction. I wanted to take the axial and radial magnetic field distribution along the line shown in the model, which is along the inner side of the tube.

Will the Bx/By and Bz calculated using the field calculator, as shown in the above figure, represent the radial and axial magnetic fields, respectively?

If not, could you please guide me in getting this?

Thank you for your consideration and valuable time.

Thank you in advance for your valuable suggestions.

Hello Hari,

The Bx ,By and Bz can be used to compute the radial and tangential component of the field.You can follow the below steps to calcualte the Brad and Btan.

Brad

• Input> Quatnties > B
• Vectors>XForm> Cylindrical> OK
• Vector>Scal?> ScalarX 
• Add Expression> Brad

Btan

• Input> Quatnties > B
• Vectors>XForm> Cylindrical> OK
• Vector>Scal?> ScalarY
• Add Expression> Btan

Hello Reshmi Raghavan,

Thank you for your response.

While calculating Brad

Brad

• Input> Quatnties > B
• Vectors>XForm> Cylindrical> OK

After this step ANSYS asking to set offset value. What does this offset value represent?

 

Thank you.

Hello Hari,

 

Keep the offset values as 0 and proceed.
