add_eddy_current_sweep

SetupMaxwell.add_eddy_current_sweep(sweep_type='LinearStep', start_frequency=0.1, stop_frequency=100, step_size=0.1, units='Hz', clear=True, save_all_fields=True)

Create a Maxwell Eddy Current Sweep.

Parameters:

sweep_typestr

Type of the subrange. Options are "LinearCount", "LinearStep", "LogScale" and "SinglePoints".

start_frequencyfloat

Starting frequency.

stop_frequencyfloat, optional

Stopping frequency. Required for range_type="LinearCount"|"LinearStep"|"LogScale".

step_sizeint or float, optional

Frequency count or frequency step. Required for range_type="LinearCount"|"LinearStep"|"LogScale".

unitsstr, optional

Unit of the frequency. For example, "Hz or "MHz". The default is "Hz".

clearbool, optional

If set to True, all other subranges will be suppressed except the current one under creation. Default value is False.

save_all_fieldsbool, optional

Save fields at all frequency points to save fields for the entire set of sweep ranges. Default is True.

Returns:

ansys.aedt.core.modules.solve_sweeps.SweepMaxwellEC

Sweep object.
