3D coil inductance with frequency domain

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

I modeled a coil to calculate the inductance in both 2d symmetric axis and 3d with frequency domain. It gives a rise an issue that the value of calculated inductances are different.

Since there is no directly option for inductance in 3D, I use the following fomula:
L=N*flux/I0
L: inductance
Flux: integration of magnetic flux density over a closed surface
N: number of turn
I0: the applied current

The value of inductance in 2D is equal to 5.0408e-5H, while in 3D is 4.226e-5H.
However, it gets closer to results from 2D when I changed frequency domain to stationary domain in 3D which is 5.0803e-5H.

Can anyone give me a favour?

Hongyu Li
