All the types of coil domains define lumped variables during the solution. These variables are defined in the global scope and have the template <variable>Coil_<name>, where
<variable> is the basic variable name (
V for voltage,
Z for impedance, and so forth) and
<name> is the string specified in the
Coil name field. These variables can be evaluated during the analysis phase or used in expressions; in this case, the scope of the physics interface (for example,
mf. for the Magnetic Fields interface) must be added to the beginning of the variable name — for example,
mf.ICoil_1 is the total coil current flowing in the coil
1 in the physics interface identified by the name
mf. A brief description of each of the variables follows.
The coil nodes define the variables Vcoil, I
coil, and P
coil. The variable corresponding to the quantity used for the coil excitation contains the input value, while the others have values computed from the solution according to the coil model.
