Set AEDT version.

aedt_version = "2024.1"

Set non-graphical mode#

Set non-graphical mode. You can set non_graphical either to True or False.

non_graphical = False

Launch HFSS#

Launches HFSS 2023 R2 in graphical mode.

Rules and information of use#

The dictionary values contain the different parameter values of the core and the windings that compose the choke. You must not change the main structure of the dictionary. The dictionary has many primary keys, including "Number of Windings", "Layer", and "Layer Type", that have dictionaries as values. The keys of these dictionaries are secondary keys of the dictionary values, such as "1", "2", "3", "4", and "Simple".

You must not modify the primary or secondary keys. You can modify only their values. You must not change the data types for these keys. For the dictionaries from "Number of Windings" through "Wire Section", values must be Boolean. Only one value per dictionary can be True. If all values are True, only the first one remains set to True. If all values are False, the first value is chosen as the correct one by default. For the dictionaries from "Core" through "Inner Winding", values must be strings, floats, or integers.

Descriptions follow for primary keys:

"Number of Windings": Number of windings around the core
"Layer": Number of layers of all windings
"Layer Type": Whether layers of a winding are linked to each other
"Similar Layer": Whether layers of a winding have the same number of turns and same spacing between turns
"Mode": When there are only two windows, whether they are in common or differential mode
"Wire Section": Type of wire section and number of segments
"Core": Design of the core
"Outer Winding": Design of the first layer or outer layer of a winding and the common parameters for all layers
"Mid Winding": Turns and turns spacing (“Coil Pit”) for the second or mid layer if it is necessary
"Inner Winding": Turns and turns spacing (“Coil Pit”) for the third or inner layer if it is necessary
"Occupation(%)": An informative parameter that is useless to modify

The following parameter values work. You can modify them if you want.

values = {
    "Number of Windings": {"1": False, "2": True, "3": False, "4": False},
    "Layer": {"Simple": False, "Double": True, "Triple": False},
    "Layer Type": {"Separate": False, "Linked": True},
    "Similar Layer": {"Similar": False, "Different": True},
    "Mode": {"Differential": False, "Common": True},
    "Wire Section": {"None": False, "Hexagon": True, "Octagon": False, "Circle": False},
    "Core": {
        "Name": "Core",
        "Material": "ferrite",
        "Inner Radius": 20,
        "Outer Radius": 30,
        "Height": 10,
        "Chamfer": 0.8,
    },
    "Outer Winding": {
        "Name": "Winding",
        "Material": "copper",
        "Inner Radius": 20,
        "Outer Radius": 30,
        "Height": 10,
        "Wire Diameter": 1.5,
        "Turns": 20,
        "Coil Pit(deg)": 0.1,
        "Occupation(%)": 0,
    },
    "Mid Winding": {"Turns": 25, "Coil Pit(deg)": 0.1, "Occupation(%)": 0},
    "Inner Winding": {"Turns": 4, "Coil Pit(deg)": 0.1, "Occupation(%)": 0},
}

Convert dictionary to JSON file#

Convert a dictionary to a JSON file. You must supply the path of the JSON file as an argument.

json_path = os.path.join(hfss.working_directory, "choke_example.json")

with open(json_path, "w") as outfile:
    json.dump(values, outfile)

Verify parameters of JSON file#

Verify parameters of the JSON file. The check_choke_values method takes the JSON file path as an argument and does the following:

Checks if the JSON file is correctly written (as explained in the rules)
Checks in equations on windings parameters to avoid having unintended intersections

dictionary_values = hfss.modeler.check_choke_values(json_path, create_another_file=False)
print(dictionary_values)
