Ansys Maxwell Modeling of Switched Reluctance Motors

Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on optimizing design parameters for Switched Reluctance Motors (SRM) using Ansys Maxwell's Optimetrics with a Genetic Algorithm (GA). The user seeks guidance on how to parameterize dimensions like the rotor and stator diameters to achieve convergence in the optimization process. While suggestions include using variable names for dimensions and consulting Ansys representatives for help, the user expresses frustration over the GA not converging despite parameterization. The thread concludes with a note that the original poster has not participated since November 2018, leading to its closure. The conversation highlights challenges in using GA for SRM design optimization in Ansys Maxwell.

Hi Everyone
i'm new member of Physics Forums, my research field is about Switched Reluctance Motors
i have question about Optimetrics in Maxwell!
my question is:
How can Optimize Design Parameters ( like Outer and inner Diameter of Stator and Rotor or Embrace of them) of a Switched Reluctance Motor in Optimetrics with a GA Algorithm?
i design a SRM with analytical Formula, and now i want optimize my design in Optimetrics!
Please Guide me about parts of this Option (Optimiation) of Maxwell
Regards.

I think if you can parameterise it, you can change it with optimetrics. For example you would give your rotor diameter a variable name during building the model, then any dimensions that are dependent on that would have equations, eg if you make it depend on rotor diameter, then stator ID would be "rotor_diameter+air_gap" etc.

I'm not sure on the specifics of exactly how you woudl do this, but I'd just ask your Ansys rep, they are usually more than helpful with such things.
 
ok , its true, but i have a problem with Convergance of GA Algorythms , my Optimetric doesn't converge! i parameterise SRM design parameters and specify condition but GA doesn't Converge! what is the problem of my work? Do you have example about this to send me?

Do you still need examples or even do you still work with maxwell?
 
The OP has not been here since November 2018, so this thread is locked.
 
Thread 'I thought it was only Amazon that sold unsafe junk'
I grabbed an under cabinet LED light today at a big box store. Nothing special. 18 inches in length and made to plug several lights together. Here is a pic of the power cord: The drawing on the box led me to believe that it would accept a standard IEC cord which surprised me. But it's a variation of it. I didn't try it, but I would assume you could plug a standard IEC cord into this and have a double male cord AKA suicide cord. And to boot, it's likely going to reverse the hot and...
