Magnetostatic ANSYS

Magnetostatic ANSYS

Magnetostatic ANSYS

(OP)
Hi everbody,

I have a problem in Magnetostatics. Source conductor -> Conductor type = stranded -> Conducting area ???. I dont know what it means Conducting area. I dont understand from help.
This parameter fundamentally change my results.
Please, Can you give me a advice?

Thank you for your answers

RE: Magnetostatic ANSYS

Hello

I haven't used ANSYS for FEM simulations - I'm into Ansoft Maxwell - so it'll be my guessing now.
Stranded means that conductor is made from many separate wires (like a string).
It is obvious that not 100% of condutor cross section is copper (or other conducting material).
So, by my guess.. conduction area is the real conductiong cross section of copper.
