Simulation of Planar Magnetic Components – Possible or Impossible?
Planar magnetic components consisting of a ferrite magnetic core and numerous conductor/insulation layers have been in use for many years. Historically, determining temperature dependent winding and core losses has only been possible using iterative testing of physical models due to the difficulty in determining 3-D frequency and thermal dependency. The only way to accomplish this now is to use frequency and thermally dependent material properties in a 2-way spatially coupled simulation.
Additionally, you can only construct a frequency dependent system model that accurately represents the real device after the steady-state temperature condition has been reached throughout the device.
Recent breakthrough developments in simulation technology and high-performance computing from ANSYS make it possible to design, simulate and optimize planar magnetic components without building physical models or compromising simulation fidelity.
This webinar demonstrates how you can use ANSYS software tools, featuring a customized interface complete with manufacturer libraries, to automatically set up and then solve a frequency dependent, 2-way coupled magnetic-thermal model.
This webinar is presented by Mark Christini, the lead Electromagnetics
Application Engineer at ANSYS.
He has been working in design, development, application and manufacturing of electrical devices and systems for the past 30 years. Mark has a strong interest in transformers of all kinds ranging, from small electronic transformers to large oil-filled EHV power transformers.
