Resources & PDF Guides

Free Engineering Reference Manuals — EV | BMS | Magnetics | Compliance

Most design guides tell you what to click. Ours tell you why it matters and what breaks if you get it wrong. A growing library of FEA-validated references, checklists, and procedures for EV power stages, PCB magnetics, EMI/EMC, and thermal management — written the way we'd brief a colleague, not the way a vendor writes a manual.

How to Simulate a Planar Transformer in Ansys Maxwell 2D?

How to Simulate a Planar Transformer in Ansys Maxwell 2D? Screenshot

- Step-by-step Ansys Maxwell 2D procedure for extracting leakage inductance from planar PCB transformers — geometry setup through final matrix extraction

- Every step explains the why, not just the how — so you understand the simulation instead of just clicking through it

- A critical pro-tip on a rounding trap that silently corrupts results in high-turn designs

- A four-issue error-and-fix matrix covering the most common setup mistakes

- Fourteen FAQs on solver selection, mesh convergence, and result validation — answered before you have to ask
