MaxwellReducedMatrix

class ansys.aedt.core.modules.boundary.maxwell_boundary.MaxwellReducedMatrix(app, parent_matrix: MaxwellMatrix, name: str, operations_reduction: list[MaxwellReducedMatrixOperation] | MaxwellReducedMatrixOperation | None = None)

Provides methods to interact with reduced matrices in Maxwell.

Parameters:

appansys.aedt.core.Maxwell3d, ansys.aedt.core.Maxwell2d

Parent Maxwell application instance.

parent_matrixMaxwellMatrix

Parent matrix object.

namestr

Name of the reduced matrix.

operations_reductionlist[MaxwellReducedMatrixOperation], MaxwellReducedMatrixOperation, optional

List of reduced matrix operations or a single reduced matrix operation. The default is None.

Examples

Create a Maxwell 3D model in AC Magnetic solver. >>> from ansys.aedt.core import Maxwell3d >>> from ansys.aedt.core.generic.constants import SolutionsMaxwell3D >>> from ansys.aedt.core.modules.boundary.maxwell_boundary import SourceACMagnetic, MatrixACMagnetic

>>> m3d = Maxwell3d(version="2026.1", solution_type=SolutionsMaxwell3D.ACMagnetic)

>>> box1 = m3d.modeler.create_box([0.5, 1.5, 0.5], [2.5, 5, 5], material="copper")
>>> box2 = m3d.modeler.create_box([9, 1.5, 0.5], [2.5, 5, 5], material="copper")
>>> box3 = m3d.modeler.create_box([16.5, 1.5, 0.5], [2.5, 5, 5], material="copper")
>>> box4 = m3d.modeler.create_box([20, 1.5, 0.5], [2.5, 5, 5], material="copper")

>>> current1 = m3d.assign_current([box1.top_face_z], amplitude=1, name="Current1")
>>> current2 = m3d.assign_current([box2.top_face_z], amplitude=1, name="Current2")
>>> current3 = m3d.assign_current([box3.top_face_z], amplitude=1, name="Current3")
>>> current4 = m3d.assign_current([box4.top_face_z], amplitude=1, name="Current4")
>>> m3d.assign_current([box1.bottom_face_z], amplitude=1, name="Current5", swap_direction=True)
>>> m3d.assign_current([box2.bottom_face_z], amplitude=1, name="Current6", swap_direction=True)
>>> m3d.assign_current([box3.bottom_face_z], amplitude=1, name="Current7", swap_direction=True)
>>> m3d.assign_current([box4.bottom_face_z], amplitude=1, name="Current8", swap_direction=True)

Assign matrix. >>> signal_source_1 = SourceACMagnetic(name=current1.name) >>> signal_source_2 = SourceACMagnetic(name=current2.name) >>> signal_source_3 = SourceACMagnetic(name=current3.name) >>> signal_source_4 = SourceACMagnetic(name=current4.name)

>>> matrix_args = MatrixACMagnetic(
>>>     signal_sources=[signal_source_1, signal_source_2, signal_source_3, signal_source_4],
>>>     matrix_name="test_matrix",
>>> )
>>> matrix = m3d.assign_matrix(matrix_args)

Join sources in series to create a reduced matrix. >>> reduced_matrix = matrix.join_series( >>> sources=[“Current1”, “Current2”], >>> matrix_name=”ReducedMatrix1”, >>> join_name=”JoinSeries1” >>> ) >>> m3d.release_desktop(True, True)
