Workshop 9: Basic Postprocessing ANSYS Maxwell 2D V16 © 2013 ANSYS, Inc. May 21, 2013 1 Release 14.5 About Workshop • Post Processing in Maxwell 2D – This workshop will discuss how to use the Maxwell 2D Post Processor. Field plots and calculator operations will demonstrated on an Eddy Current project. The following tasks will be performed: • Plot the mesh • Plot of MagB • Plot of B_vector • Plot of MagH along a line • Create a table of MagH along a line • Calculate average MagB in an object • Verify DivB = 0 • Calculate loss in the conductor • Calculate net and total current flowing in the conductor • Export field results to a file. © 2013 ANSYS, Inc.
