Planar Spiral coil, Can not define my output.

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hello all,

I am trying to solve for the B-field produced by a planar spiral coil on a diamond substrate. I am following along with a tutorial provided by comsol, "Modeling of a 3D inductor", but I have run into an issue. When I define my coil domain output, Comsol keeps returning the boundary I select is "not applicable". Oddly enough the same thing happens when I load in the 3d inductor example. The simulation will run and solve, but the results seems to indicate nothing is happening. I suspect my coil is not defined right and the current is not applied during the simulation. I attached my file. I was wondering if someone could try and find out why my output is not applicable and why I return no results.

Thanks in advance, Sami

Hi Sami,

You would need to connect the two ends of the conductors with either just as a boundary surface or volumetric wire. For boundary, you can apply "Magnetic Insulation" and apply a "Lumped Port" for a section of it to excite. If it is a volumetric connection, you can remove a small section from the Physics node and apply "Input" and "Output" as in the Modelign of 3D Inductor example.

Best Regards, Nirmal
