Resolving - Toroid with 86 turns
Problem description
The model performed well in the inductance simulation. However, to proceed with obtaining temperature data, the following changes were made:
- Electromagnetics: Turned off
- Thermal Settings: Set to steady-state
- Bobbin: Added
- Material Properties: For Kool material, the thermal conductivity is not specified. Assuming this is required for thermal simulations. So, a temporary value of 3 was used for testing purposes, with the exact value to be confirmed late
Challenges Encountered:
- Geometry Assembly Failure:
The geometry could not assemble when using a large number of turns, so the number of turns was reduced to start with a smaller configuration. So, Group1coil with the number of turns reduced to 3 was used. - Meshing Failure:
The model failed to mesh due to a high aspect ratio. Despite attempting to adjust the element size and the dr value for the bobbin, the issue could not be resolved.
