order_coil_terminals

Maxwell3d.order_coil_terminals(winding_name, list_of_terminals)

Order coil terminals

Create custom connection order amongst different turns in a Winding definition. Note that this feature is only available in the A-Phi formulation.

Parameters:

winding_namestr

Name of Winding in AEDT

list_of_terminals: lst of str

List of coil terminals names in the intended connection order. The terminal names are strings.

Returns:

bool

True when successful, False when failed.
