Export Coil Points

Introduction

This tool generates a point coordinate file containing the coil path of specified wire bodies. The exported CSV file provides the data required to create Non-Meshed Coil objects for MS3D, MT3D, and MAC3D solutions.

  • Input bodies

    Select all the mid-wire bodies of the coils as input.

  • Curvature angle between points

    This option refines the seed points within the curved region and disregards the smooth midpoints. It calculates the angle between each midpoint and its neighbouring points, and if this angle is below the given value, those points get excluded. A smaller curvature angle can result in a more precise approximation of the given coil but at the expense of generating more points and consequently prolonging the computational process.

  • Tolerance to connect end winding

    Turn on this toggle to connect the end of the two adjacent windings based on the tolerance.
