Winding of the magnetic element is floating

Altair Forum User

Hello. I'm trying to run the Test circuit for measuring the B-H loop (Example B-H 3F3.sch), available in the examples, but it always returns an error message:

Element: MAG_WINDING Name: MAG_WINDING1
Error: The winding of the magnetic element is floating!

Can someone help me with this problem, please?

The circuit in question is in the figure below.

In your picture, the winding "MAG_WINDING1" has a core. It needs a flux path for its core.

You have disabled the core so that the flux path is open. As you should know, flux must have a loop. 

Please enable the core.
