Single-turn and Multi-turn Coil Domains in 3D
Model ID: 14067

This tutorial illustrates how to use the Single-Turn Coil Domain and Multi-Turn Coil Domain features for modeling 3D coils. Both DC and AC coil modeling strategies are discussed. A series of simple illustrative tutorials are used to show different possible ways of using the following features.

1. Single-turn coil domain
a) Gap feed
b) Boundary feed

2. Multi-turn coil domain
a) Linear coil
b) Circular coil
c) Numeric coil
d) Using symmetry
e) User-defined coil
