However magnetostatic simulations take 3 to 5 hours. Eddy current simulations take 9 to 16 hours. And the computer as it is can&#8217;t run transient analysis at all. My research group provides me a Dell Desktop with 32 GB of RAM and an i7 processor. I am aware that this is not really sufficient computer hardware to run Maxwell 3D. I would especially like to run transient analysis to apply my high frequency square wave excitation to my transformer.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>I was wondering if someone that works at Ansys or is knowledgeable with Ansys could recommend me&nbsp;some computer specifications that would allow me to run fast Maxwell 3D simulation?I was thnking of upgrading to a Dell Workstation with a xeon processor. My hope is to be able to run transient simulation and to run simulations with somewhere between 1 hour and 2 hour run time just using default mesh setting. A computer recommendation from the Ansys community would be great.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-38125","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_old_topic_id":["10303"],"_bbp_old_topic_author_name_id":["Anonymous"],"_bbp_old_is_topic_anonymous_id":["false"],"_bbp_old_closed_status_id":["publish"],"_bbp_author_ip":[null],"_bbp_old_sticky_status_id":["normal"],"_bbp_likes_count":["0"],"_btv_view_count":["2298"],"_bbp_subscription":["243025"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_status":["publish"],"_bbp_topic_id":["38125"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27793"],"_bbp_engagement":["154166","162010","168589"],"_bbp_voice_count":["3"],"_bbp_reply_count":["5"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["95566"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["95566"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2019-10-07 20:21:25"]},"test":"ngominvt"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/38125","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\/38125\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=38125"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
