MaxwellCircuitComponents: create_component

[rickygill00]

Hello, I can't seem to name a winding component using create_component(). For example:

myWinding = MaxwellCircuitComponent.create_component(name="myWinding", component_library="", component_name="Winding")

This creates the winding but does not set the name to "myWinding". Using myWinding.set_property(name="Name", value="myWinding") changes the name.

Am I doing something wrong with create_component()?

Hi @rickygill00,

To create a winding you simply need this method: create_winding().
A usage example could be:
my_wdg = my_aedtapp.modeler.schematic.create_winding(name="wdg_name", location, angle use_instance_id_netlist=False)
This returns a CircuitComponent object where you could access several properties, one of which the composed_name.
To know which ones to access please do: dir(my_wdg) in your IDE.
If you want to use the set_property() method try the following from the CircuitComponent object:
my_wdg.set_property("Name", new_name)

Hope this helps,

Kind regards,

Giulia
