Hi! English is not my native language, and I am working on a small project designing a coilgun for a steel ball using Ansys Maxwell. I have watched some tutorials on magnetostatics.<\/p>\n

I have two questions regarding the coilgun with copper wires that I’m unsure about:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n

    Stranded coil – Is it really a coil with copper wire with multiple layers of N turns, similar to an ordinary coil core? If so, how does it take into account wire gauge, ohmic losses, and winding tightness, etc.? Edit – I meant current excitation with type stranded<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  2. \n

    For eddy current, I am planning to use a capacitor as a source for the coilgun for a steel ball. Can I really use it when eddy current involves AC current?<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Another question<\/p>\n

    Where can I find calculations for the magnetization of the steel ball, as well as for the force and velocity it experiences?<\/p>\n

    Thanks for the help!????<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-326941","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry","topic-tag-AnsysMaxwellelectronics-1","topic-tag-maxwell"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_subscription":["303325","186775"],"_bbp_author_ip":["23.206.193.146"]," _bbp_last_reply_id":["0"]," _bbp_likes_count":["0"],"_btv_view_count":["1198"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_edit_lock":["1702027959:245841"],"_bbp_status":["publish"],"_bbp_topic_id":["326941"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27793"],"_bbp_engagement":["186775","303325"],"_bbp_voice_count":["2"],"_bbp_reply_count":["3"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["338311"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["338311"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2023-12-13 02:02:02"]},"test":"mjoha3kth-se"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/326941","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/326941\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=326941"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
