QUESTION:
I'm looking at a circuit coupled LF emag model (2D PLANE53/CIRCU124) that was created by someone else and it is very awkward identifying with circuit element is connected to which coil mesh in the finite element model. Is there an easy way to do this? Also, a macro to automate the circuit coupling on CURR and EMF in the finite element mesh would be helpful, in case I have to redefine these coupled DOF sets.
ANSWER:
Attached are some macros that may help you in this regard. Please note that these are not ANSYS supported macros.
1) conn2.mac:
Prompts user to select a stranded coil circuit element. The macro automatically selects the PLANE53 coil elements to which the circuit element is coupled and displays them (EPLOT). This greatly simplifies determining the connections between circuit elements and finite element meshes of the coil elements. Note that coupled degree of freedom sets need not already be defined in order for this macro to work.
2) conn3.mac (PREP7):
Prompts user to select a stranded coil circuit element. The macro automatically selects the PLANE53 coil elements to which the circuit element is coupled and creates the coupled degree of freedom sets on CURR and EMF that are necessary for solution. This macro may only be used inPREP7.
3) crkt.mac (POST26):
Prompts user to select any circuit element in the circuit model. The macro reports the voltage across, current through, and power supplied by the circuit element (the listing appears in the output window for interactive post processing). This macro may only be used in POST26.
