Ansys Maxwell problem -- band around coil is a difficult geometry?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around difficulties in simulating a solenoid with a translational motion band in Ansys Maxwell due to geometry issues. The user is facing intersecting object warnings while trying to position the band correctly within a housing that includes two shafts. Attempts to create a single motion band and extend it have resulted in additional warnings about geometry validity and object intersections. Clarification is sought regarding the placement of the coils and the core within the model. The user is looking for advice on how to properly incorporate the motion band without triggering errors.

Hey Guys,

through the past years you helped me a lot. But now i have to ask my first question.
I am simulating a solenoid, a very easy one, with a core and a coil. And a translational band (2mm). The only problem is, that i cannot put the band correctly because my solenoid is in a housing, the 2 shafts goes out of the model. and of course i considered that the obejcts are not touching each other. I have warning messages in intersecting objects. i upload the pictures (cylinder 41 is the motion band).

I also tried to make one motion band and extend it with new ones, but then i get more 'intersecting' warning messages and other like i touch the stationary shell and that the geometrie ist not valid...
I hope you can give me an advice how to put a motion band (transl.) in that housing.
Have a nice weekend.

Greeting from Germany
Eske

Can you clarify where the two coils are? I'm assuming one is purple and the other is brown? And what is the longer rod-shaped thing going up the middle -- is that your "core"? Thanks

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...

Thread 'EMF (Electromagnetic Field) & EHS (Electromagnetic Hyper Sensitivity)'

Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
