Importing and Processing Transient Waveforms
- File Format and Importing
- Import the file, ensuring the correct mapping of time, primary source, and secondary source.
- Original vs. Interpolated Waveforms
- View the original waveform and notice potentially missing points in regions with steep changes.
- Use the “optimize time steps” setting to enhance waveform resolution.
- Adjustments and Settings
- Define fundamental frequency for period identification.
- Set the number of periods and points per period for simulation.
- Discrete Fourier Transform and Harmonic Simulation
- Specify the number of harmonics for calculating winding losses.
- Convert transient simulation to harmonic simulation if needed.
- Understand the application of DFT amplitudes for effective Rac/Rdc calculation.
- Final Considerations
- Note the limitations of harmonic simulation for cases like flyback transformers.
