Hi,
I asked support this question, but am under pressure to figure this out soon, so I thought I would get some points of view from the forum as well, if I could. I'm doing a simple model of a coil right now. I need to see what happens between turns, so the multi-turn coil domain feature is not an option. I will be doing high frequency studies, but right now, I'm just doing stationary studies.
Anyway, when I apply voltage to one end of the coil (which extends to the edge of the domain) and ground to the other, it should be a relatively simple problem to find the voltage. It works fine in Electric Currents and the voltage is distributed evenly. I need to consider the magnetic field at higher frequencies, though, so I chose MEF. The results should be very close to the same for the stationary case. The MEF results, though, do not make sense, as the voltage is concentrated entirely at the end of the coil near the applied voltage.
Does anyone have any idea what might cause this? The model files are kind of large, so I have attached a couple of pictures to show what I'm talking about. The results should be almost exactly the same at DC, however they are not. What do you think?
