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

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The forum discussion centers on an error encountered in Ansys Maxwell when attempting to simulate Foucault currents in a copper cylinder with a hole, while a magnetic core is moved. The specific error message states, "Failure in handing multiply connected region to eddy current," indicating issues with band definition and the need for a container object around moving parts. Users are encouraged to share screenshots of their geometry setup to clarify the problem further.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Ansys Maxwell 2023 simulation software
  • Knowledge of electromagnetic theory, specifically Foucault currents
  • Familiarity with geometry setup in finite element analysis (FEA)
  • Experience with defining moving objects and boundaries in simulation environments
NEXT STEPS
  • Review Ansys Maxwell documentation on handling multiply connected regions
  • Learn about defining container objects for moving parts in simulations
  • Explore troubleshooting techniques for eddy current simulations in Ansys Maxwell
  • Investigate best practices for geometry visualization and sharing in simulation forums
USEFUL FOR

Electrical engineers, simulation specialists, and researchers working with electromagnetic simulations in Ansys Maxwell, particularly those dealing with eddy currents and complex geometries.

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...
