Hi everyone. I have three questions about stranded windings in Ansys Maxwell and how to calculate their losses. Also, I want to know how to calculate friction losses in a motor, so I define it in RMxprt. I want to simulate a synchronous motor. It has 12 stranded windings. Each winding has 24 thin wires that act as one wire, with 5 turns. I want to know how I should tell the software that my windings are like this. And how should I define friction and winding losses in it? Thanks for your responses
Mohammadreza Hojati I suggest:
1. Modeling stranded windings in Ansys Maxwell: The "Wire" option in the "Modeling" tab may be used to model stranded windings in Ansys Maxwell. You may design a new wire and set the number of twists and each strand size. Then, using the "Group" tool, you may join the strands together and treat them as a single wire.
2. Calculating winding losses: In Ansys Maxwell, use the "Solver" tool in the "Analysis" tab to compute winding losses. You can define the winding resistance and reactance values in a DC or AC analysis. The losses will then be calculated by the program based on the current flowing through the windings.
3. Defining friction losses: In RMxprt, utilize the "Losses" option in the "Modeling" tab to specify friction losses in a motor. To calculate friction losses, enter the friction coefficient, rotor radius, and rotational speed.
4. Simulating a synchronous motor: In Ansys Maxwell, use the "Motor" feature in the "Modeling" tab to simulate a synchronous motor. The number of poles, rotor speed, stator and rotor winding topologies, and machine characteristics such as rotor and stator resistance, inductance, and leakage reactance may all be specified.
Please keep in mind that the methods outlined above are only a general guide to simulating a synchronous motor in Ansys Maxwell; the exact process may change based on the specifics of your model and the version of the software you are using.
It is also advised that you read the software's user manual and contact Ansys' technical assistance if you have any queries or problems.
