Maxwell electronic transformer kit
Python automation for building and solving transformer models in a commercial field solver.
Updated
Context
Electromagnetic field simulation of a transformer answers questions that a lumped model cannot: leakage distribution, proximity effects, and where the field actually goes.
Constraint
Building the model is slow work — core geometry, windings, excitations, boundary setup — and it has to be redone for every variant, which keeps the study small.
Contribution
I wrote Python automation that creates and simulates electronic-transformer models in ANSYS Maxwell, covering core geometry definition, winding setup, and the electromagnetic analysis.
Approach
Core shapes are provided as user-defined geometry models so a variant is a parameter change rather than a redraw, and the model-building steps are expressed as a script that can be re-run.
Outcome
Transformer variants can be compared in the field solver at the cost of running a script rather than rebuilding a model.
Evidence
The public repository holds the model-creation driver and the user-defined core geometry models.
