Ansoft Maxwell -- shaping an interior electric motor rotor

Click For Summary
An issue arose while shaping an interior permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) rotor in Ansoft Maxwell, specifically related to the intersection of the rotor and band. Adjustments to the band and surface led to a warning about eddy effect settings needing review. Validation attempts resulted in a meshing error, indicating problems with 3D object intersections in Maxwell2D. The user seeks solutions to resolve these errors or alternative methods for rotor shaping. The discussion highlights common challenges in 3D modeling within simulation software.

For shaping an interior PMSM rotor from top figure to as in bottom fig, I made an equation based curve, united with another curve , made a surface using coverline and united that shape with my rotor.

When validated it showed band and rotor intersecting and I adjusted the band - DiaGap. Then there was problem with inner and outer surfaces. I adjusted them too. When I validated, got a warning message, "Eddy effect settings may need revisiting due to the recent changes in the design. The default value will be used for the object if the value is not specified". When analyzed, got an error "[warning] G3dMesher Warning - Found 3d objects in Maxwell2D. Model extents are lower left [-1.136000e+002 -4.085621e-014 -4.000000e-003] upper right [1.136000e+002 1.136000e+002 4.000000e-003]
[error] Unexpected error encountered in the meshing process.
[error] Simulation completed with execution error on server: Local Machine."
How can I solve this or is there any another method to shape the rotor.

I have seen this lately, However, i would like to add that G3d mesher problems arise due to intersection of 2 objects. i have found such errors mostly in 3D Modeling.
 
I am trying to understand how transferring electric from the powerplant to my house is more effective using high voltage. The suggested explanation that the current is equal to the power supply divided by the voltage, and hence higher voltage leads to lower current and as a result to a lower power loss on the conductives is very confusing me. I know that the current is determined by the voltage and the resistance, and not by a power capability - which defines a limit to the allowable...
