Ansys Maxwell error when moving a magnetic core and a copper cylinder with a hole

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around an error encountered in Ansys Maxwell when attempting to simulate the movement of a magnetic core and a copper cylinder with a hole. The error message indicates issues with handling a multiply connected region for eddy currents, specifically mentioning the need for proper band definition and container wrapping for moving objects. The user seeks assistance in resolving this error and requests a screenshot of the geometry to better understand the setup. Clarification on the geometry and movement is essential for troubleshooting the issue effectively. The conversation emphasizes the importance of accurate modeling in simulation software to avoid such errors.

Hello.
I have a magnetic core and a copper cylinder with a hole. I ask the cylinder to rotate and the magnet to move from left to right. I want to calculate Foucault currents in a copper cylinder, but an error appears.
"Failture in handing multiply connected region to eddy current. 1. Band definition. 2. Moving object in the band should be wrapped by a container object"
I Need a help.

Were you able to figure this error out yet?

Can you post a screenshot of the geometry and the movement? I'm not able to tie your description of the geometry to the figure that I see on your screen...
 
Hey guys. I have a question related to electricity and alternating current. Say an alien fictional society developed electricity, and settled on a standard like 73V AC current at 46 Hz. How would appliances be designed, and what impact would the lower frequency and voltage have on transformers, wiring, TVs, computers, LEDs, motors, and heating, assuming the laws of physics and technology are the same as on Earth?
While I was rolling out a shielded cable, a though came to my mind - what happens to the current flow in the cable if there came a short between the wire and the shield in both ends of the cable? For simplicity, lets assume a 1-wire copper wire wrapped in an aluminum shield. The wire and the shield has the same cross section area. There are insulating material between them, and in both ends there is a short between them. My first thought, the total resistance of the cable would be reduced...
I used to be an HVAC technician. One time I had a service call in which there was no power to the thermostat. The thermostat did not have power because the fuse in the air handler was blown. The fuse in the air handler was blown because there was a low voltage short. The rubber coating on one of the thermostat wires was chewed off by a rodent. The exposed metal in the thermostat wire was touching the metal cabinet of the air handler. This was a low voltage short. This low voltage...
