In Maxwell Circuit Editor a Component is created by default corresponding to winding in Maxwell. The name of the winding is same as as used in Maxwell in Maxwell 3D > Excitations > Add Winding. If users add winding by themselves they should ensure these names match
在Maxwell Circuit Editor中，默认情况下会创建一个与Maxwell中的绕组相对应的组件。 绕组的名称与Maxwell 3D>激励>添加绕组中的Maxwell中使用的名称相同。 如果用户自己添加绕组，则应确保这些名称匹配

worksheet.

【Step04 Analyze 分析 】
• Run Solution
– Solution setup is already copied from original design
– Select the menu item Maxwell 3D Analyze All
Note: When an external circuit is defined, the time step is controlled from the circuit simulator. The time step values are calculated based circuit transients and occurrences such as switching instances. Due to variable time steps resulting from circuit, Maxwell can miss the Save Fields points if defined in Solution Setup. Thus fields of the next time step occurring after the missed point will be saved.
Users can set the minimum time step size used for circuit simulator from
Maxwell 3D Excitations External Circuit Set Minimum Time Step
注意：定义了外部电路后，时间步长可通过电路模拟器控制。 该时间步长值是根据电路瞬变和发生情况（例如开关实例）来计算的。 由于电路产生的时间步长可变，如果在"解决方案设置"中定义，Maxwell可能会错过"保存字段"点。 因此，将保存在错过点之后发生的下一个时间步的字段。
用户可以从以下位置设置用于电路模拟器的最小时间步长
Maxwell 3D Excitations External Circuit Set Minimum
