no current incuced in my inner coil.

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

I am trying to find the induced voltage on my coil wich is induced by another external coil, both are multi turn coil and numerical, they are over an alluminum bar, they are concentric and the inner coil has a current equals to 0 and the external coil has 1 [A], I have added the input and an electric insulation in both and in the step I have a coil current calculation for the external coil and also a frequence domain, but my global evaluation keeps showing me a voltage equals to zero in my inner coil, does anyone know what I am doing wrong?

Juliana,

the picture looks like there is no air domain around the coils. They seem to be attached to the surface of the cylinder. If this is the case there can't be a field around the coils. You need to put it all into an air box. Many more can be wrong of course.

Cheers
Edgar

Hi Edgar, the air is just hidden, and also I have changed its electical conductivity to 10 S/m... and the coils are separeted from the bar by 0.118[mm]...

Juliana,

we would need to have a look into the model to get any further. It could be a support case too.

Cheers
Edgar
