Question: inductor with excitation voltage
Hello,
currently i am trying to implement an inductor, where a voltage can be given instead of a current. I've tried this by setting the voltage directly using a fixed constraint but then i need to already know the voltages across each turn. Instead i want to give a voltage for the whole inductor. I think this is possible using the Network constraint but i have troubles in getting the simulation to run. Currently there is a voltage source and every turn set in series.
The difference to the academic transformer from the example models is that we are using an axisymmetric simulation where the symmetric axis is the center leg of the core. In our case we have multiple turns per winding and we cannot differentiate between PLUS and MINUS poles. Is it even possible to implement such a network constraint considering the simulation model?
Here you can see an image of the model:
Please have a look at the .pro files. I think semantically the network creation is correct but somehow the solver has a problem to use it in his calculations. Maybe there is a problem with a domain?
Currently there is no error while running the simulation. Not even a zero system skip, but the simulation results are empty. If you need it i can also send a *.msh file in order to run the simulation.
Best regards
