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.
 
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...
