How can I add alloying element to a material in Ansys Maxwell?

Hello,

I am trying to perform an electromagnetic simulation in Ansys Maxwell. In my case, I have a rectangular plate made up of Aluminium and I want to add small MnB (Manganese Boron) particles to this plate. For this reason, I have made a small sphere and assigned the necessary material properties. The small particles were placed inside the rectangular plate. But when I try to run the simulation I get an error message as: two parts intersect with each other. How do I add MnB to the rectangular plate made up of Aluminium? Is it even possible to do that in Ansys Maxwell?

Thanks in Advance.

How to fix it?

For calculating Qg, Qb, Qd, Qs of a MOSFET (in Genius TCAD), should we DC bias gate and drain and AC input (small signal analysis) at each electrode?

We can calculate Q from capacitance as Cij = dQi/dVij. When I input an ac signal through Gate electrode while the MOSFET is DC biased at gate and drain (source and body are grounded), I get Cbg, Cdg, Csg, and Cgg. Can I use these capacitance values to directly find Qb, Qd, Qs, and Qg using the above mentioned formula? Or should I find capacitance only from the Cgg value since that's the electrode that ac bias is provided?

Hello,

Me and my friends are senior engineering students, we need help on the following.

We want to design our models in CAD programmes and analyse them in Ansys workbench. To be more specialized, in static structural and eigenvalue buckling analysis part. We can easily upload our design but we could not find a way to use shell element model for our solid designs.

If somebody could help, that would help a lot.

I am trying to convert S-parameters obtained from CST Simulator into Y-parameters using the formulas as shown in the picture shared. Values I used for S11, S12, S21, S22 are as shown in picture. The calculated values do not match with the Y-parameters obtained from CST. Am I using the correct formula and values? In what format/units, S parameters should be replaced in the given formula?

Maxwell 3D - spring with thin copper wire profile - "Current leak to the air", how can this be resolved?

Question

Mohammad Tavassolian

Hello everyone,

I have been trying to simulate a 'simple' coil consisting of 4 connected springs with a thin circular (D=0.072mm) in Maxwell 3D. These four connected springs make a rectangle (top view) I have tried several attempts on modeling the coil in other CAD softwares and importing them into Ansys Electronics Desktop. Here is the list of attempts I made:

1- Modeling in Maxwell 3D and uniting the springs together to generate one single body - Result: current leaks to the air

2- Modeling in Solidworks and importing as .stp .stl .igs into EDT - Result: Cannot handle thin geometry (the coil will no longer have ciruclar geometry so cannot even apply a current to a terminal)

3- Modeling in NX and importing as .stp. .stl .igs into EDT - Same problem

Modeling one single spring and 2 of them connected to each other (attempt nr 1) did not give me error and 'Validation and Analyse all' was a success. But where I connected 3 or 4 of them, Ansys Electronic Desktop is giving me an error when 'Analyse all' is happening about current leak to the air which is not that straight forward to understand what's wrong, although the Validation goes well.

I also tried to model it in Design Modeler, it's interesting that first spring gets imported very well but the ones connected to it will have messed up geometry and at the end this one body geometry cannot be verified in Maxwell 3D (2 steps for simulation: Validation and Analyse all)

I would be extremely gladto be helped with this very problem and my main question is: does Ansys have hard time understanding and simulating such thin and fine geometry? is this the main reason? and eventually, what's the way out. I believe the main problem here is that I don't know what's exactly wrong. i.e. What does the current leak to the air mean? and where this current leak is taking place so I can modify my model. As a final comment, I tried both ways, open loop and closed loop.

Thanks, any comment is appreciated!
