SRG uses concentrated windings placed around each salient pole on the stator right?. The coils around the individual poles are connected to form the phase windings. Therefore the windings on the stator have to be excited by the outer circuit (an input current), and the electrical energy and mechanical energy are converted into magnetic field energy.

Hope it helps

Thank you very much Joao,

You mean i have to have an outer circuit to provide excitation to the windings? If I put a value for 'external current density' under the Subdomain Setting, would it be the same as providing input current without the external circuit.
Currently I am trying to put a value of current under the subdomain setting, but I do not get a good magnetic field distribution. If I still can't do it this way, I might try using an external circuit. Any idea on how to model the external circuit? Any notes that I can refer to?

Thank you in advance.

Supposably the input current value should act as an external circuit! that how COMSOl works!
But tell me what is exactly not going right in your simulation?
If you want attach the file so I can try to take a look at it.

Best regards

HI again Joao..

I have been trying to get the magnetic flux density of my switched reluctance generator under static condition. The result is not as I expected, since when I just define the current density for 1 phase only the flux distribution is scattered. Hence i guess i entered the current wrongly or i define the parameters wrongly. I attach to you my file.

I really do appreciate your time and help.

Thank you very much.
