Ansys Maxwell Modeling of Switched Reluctance Motors

AI Thread 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.
 
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...
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...
I am not an electrical engineering student, but a lowly apprentice electrician. I learn both on the job and also take classes for my apprenticeship. I recently wired my first transformer and I understand that the neutral and ground are bonded together in the transformer or in the service. What I don't understand is, if the neutral is a current carrying conductor, which is then bonded to the ground conductor, why does current only flow back to its source and not on the ground path...
