Getting Started: A Transformer Design Example

http://www.cadfamily.com/a/EDA_PCB/Altera/Getting-Started--A-Transformer-Design-Example_10115.html

General Procedure
To design a magnetic component in PExprt, follow this general procedure:
1. Select a design library from the list of stock libraries.
2. Optionally, select cores, wires, and core materials from the design library. Only the selected
elements are considered in the design process.
3. Introduce the waveform specifications.
4. Optionally, specify design inputs, such as gap position, geometry, thermal constraints, wire
spacing, maximum flux density, and maximum number of parallel turns.
5. Optionally, select modeling inputs, such as winding losses and optimization criteria.
6. Generate a list of possible designs that meet your specifications.
7. Select a design, and explore one or more performance results, such as core losses, winding
losses, or temperature rise.
8. Select a design, and explore one or more constructive results, such as core size, core material,
wire gauge, gap length, or number of turns.
