Ansoft Maxwell -- shaping an interior electric motor rotor

AI Thread 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.
 

Thread 'Underwater piezoelectric sensor array receive sensitivity'

Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...

Thread 'Following up on the recent thread about Earth Resistance measurements'

I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...

Thread 'Beauty of old electrical and measuring things, etc.'

Even as a kid, I saw beauty in old devices. That made me want to understand how they worked. I had lots of old things that I keep and now reviving. Old things need to work to see the beauty. Here's what I've done so far. Two views of the gadgets shelves and my small work space: Here's a close up look at the meters, gauges and other measuring things: This is what I think of as surface-mount electrical components and wiring. The components are very old and shows how...
