How to compute Inductance?

    • FAQFAQ

      By default, inductances are not computed in the Maxwell solvers to save time. The computation must be specified by the user. In the magnetostatic and eddy current solvers this is under: Maxwell 3D > Parameters > Matrix. In the magnetostatic solver, you can choose apparent or incremental inductance. In the eddy current solver, only apparent inductance can be calculated. In the transient solver this is under: Design Settings > Matrix Computation > Compute Inductance Matrix. Apparent or incremental inductance can be calculated including both the self and mutual components.
