edit_external_circuit

Maxwell3d.edit_external_circuit(netlist_file_path, schematic_design_name=None, parameters=None)

Edit the external circuit for the winding and allow editing of the circuit parameters.

Parameters:

netlist_file_pathstr

Path to the circuit netlist file.

schematic_design_namestr, optional

Name of the schematic design.

parametersdict, optional

Name and value of the circuit parameters. Parameters must be provided as a dictionary, where the key is the parameter name and the value is the parameter value. If the dictionary is provided, the netlist_file_path parameter is automatically set to an empty string. The default is None.

Returns:

bool

True when successful, False when failed.

Examples

After creating a Maxwell circuit, export the netlist file and then import it to Maxwell 2D.
