Winding Bodies & Tool
• Feature: Design Modeler (DM) includes two new tools to allow a user to easily create current carrying coils:
– Winding Bodies: Used to represent wound coils for source excitation. The advantage of these bodies is that they are not 3D CAD objects, and hence simplify modeling/meshing of winding structures.
– Upon “attach to Simulation”, Winding Bodies are assigned as Conductor bodies.
– Winding Tool: Used to create more complex coils for motor windings. The Winding Tool uses a Worksheet table format to drive the creation of multiply connected Winding Bodies. Or a user can read in a text file created by MSExcel.
• Benefits: Very easy to use, rapid creation of coil windings.
ANSYS, Inc. Proprietary© 2004 ANSYS, Inc.
Winding Bodies
A line body can be promoted to a winding body. Turns and cross-section (CS) dimensions are entered
Winding cross-section displayed
Tangent orientation vector (blue arrow) defines direction of current.

Winding Tool
Complex coil windings may be created using the Winding Tool:• The Winding Tool inserts a “Winding#” into the model tree. • A “Details” view is used for geometric placement.
ANSYS, Inc. Proprietary© 2004 ANSYS, Inc.
Winding Tool
Each Winding consists a number of related Winding Bodies.The related Winding Bodies are shown in the Parts/Bodies branch:
