Coil models and their availability in Flux projects

Introduction

The availability of coil models in a Flux project depends both on the module (i.e, Flux 2D, Flux Skew or Flux 3D) and on the application selected by the user.

The tables in the next two sections summarize the availability of Meshed Coil regions and Non-Meshed Coil magnetic sources in each module for the existing Flux applications (i.e., Magneto Static, Steady State AC Magnetic, Steady State AC Magnetic Coupled With Transient Thermal and Transient Magnetic).

Meshed coil regions

Meshed coil regions are available in all Flux modules. The availability of each subtype of meshed coil regions in the applications of each module is detailed in the next three tables.

Table 1. Meshed coil models available in Flux 2D
Flux 2D Application	Coil Conductor regions			Solid Conductor regions
	Without losses	With Additional Losses
	Without losses	Simplified geometrical description	Detailed geometrical description
Magneto Static
Steady State AC Magnetic
Steady State AC Magnetic coupled with Transient Thermal
Transient Magnetic

Note: The modeling of foil coils with the dedicated region coil conductor region with losses and detailed geometrical description is allowed only in 2D Steady State AC Magnetic application.

Note: The coil conductor region with losses and detailed geometrical description is only available in the 2D plane transient magnetic application. In 2D axisymmetric transient magnetic application, this region is not yet available.

Non-meshed coil magnetic sources

Non-meshed magnetic sources are only available in Flux 3D.
