You can now use current-technology electromagnetic elements PLANE233, SOLID236, and SOLID237 to perform stranded coil analyses. The elements are applicable to 2-D and 3-D static, time-harmonic, and time-transient electromagnetic analyses. The stranded coil analysis option is suitable for modeling a stranded winding with a prescribed current flow direction vector. The stranded coil may be voltage- or current-driven, as well as circuit-fed. The new formulation uses edge-flux (AZ), voltage drop across the coil (VOLT) and electromotive force (EMF) degrees of freedom. The elements have an option to perform a stranded coil analysis with time-integrated voltage drop or time-integrated electromotive force.
