Transformer winding

Hi everybody
I have a challenging problem in modeling of three winding transformer in 3D FLUX software. I need to model a three-winding transformer in which secondary and tertiary wrapped in reverse direction. For this purpose, I changed the winding directions by using dotted terminal in electrical circuit editor but unfortunately changing dotted terminals does not work at all and the secondary and tertiary voltages have zero-degree difference instead of 180 degrees. How can I simulate three-winding transformer with 180-degree phase difference between secondary and tertiary?

Regards

    Hi,

    As usual in Flux you can do this in 3 ways:

    - The orientation of the region (2D) or terminal (3D) and non-meshed coil (3D)

    - In the circuit by turning the coil

    - By putting the phase in the current source

    Usually you need to return only the component on the circuit side, and I put the same phase for all, and I orient the same way on the finite element side.

    Best regards.
