COMSOL 3D Transformer Modeling Guidance - 15/12/2025 05:31 EST

I am advancing a PhD project on high- and medium-frequency dual-active-bridge / solid-state transformer design and now want to tighten the COMSOL side of my workflow. The priority is a robust 3-D model that accurately captures Electric Field / Insulation Stress behaviour, then expands to magnetic and thermal effects so the final simulation can predict loss-to-temperature rise and explore material and winding trade-offs.

The engagement is strictly hands-on: we share screens, build the geometry, assign multi-turn coils, couple Magnetic Fields → Heat Transfer, and finally resolve the electric potential distribution to verify creepage and clearance. I expect you to explain why each boundary condition, mesh choice, or solver setting is applied—no black-box files. When results diverge from theory, we will debug together until the plots, numeric probes, and integral evaluations make physical sense.

Typical tasks that will come up
• Creating parametrised ferrite vs amorphous cores and foil vs litz windings
• Extracting inductance, core and copper loss, then piping those losses into a steady-state thermal study
• Running frequency sweeps up to several hundred kilohertz and documenting insulation stress hotspots for publication graphics

Because the project feeds directly into journal papers, clear notation, reproducible model steps, and short written rationales are part of every milestone.

I’m ready to start ASAP and can work around your availability; sessions can be hourly or organised as capped deliverables. When you respond, focus on your COMSOL experience with coupled EM-thermal problems or transformer research rather than generic past work—the deeper the experience, the faster we can move.
