Ansys Maxwell Query: Error "current leak to the air"

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on resolving the "current leak to the air" error in Ansys Maxwell simulations. Users suggest that changing the mesh method to "classic" and increasing resolution can eliminate the error, while also checking the conduction path of coils for any cracks or open circuits. Some participants express concerns about the simulation continuing despite errors, questioning whether to halt the process. Additionally, there are inquiries about the long simulation times experienced on lower-spec hardware. Overall, effective mesh settings and proper coil configurations are key to resolving the error.

how the error "current leak to the air" in the Ansys Maxwell can be removed? although there is no error in the validation process

Welcome to the PF. :smile:

Can you post a screenshot of your simulation showing the error? You can use the UPLOAD button in the lower right of the Edit window to add an attachment (PDF or JPEG) to your post. Thank you.
 
Has your model developed a E field gradient that exceeds the dielectric strength of air?
 
the simulation does not appear and the error is appeared in the message center. can you share the mail so that i can send the screen shot...i am unable to upload the images here.

Hey Wali, I am facing the same issue on my project. Did you find a solution to this problem?
 
I am also facing the Error "current leak to the air" on my project. Did anyone find a solution to this problem?

Hey, update: I solved my problem by changing the Mesh method to "classic" and increasing the resolution enough so that there would be no meshing errors.

Hi guys . if this problem solved by changing mesh it is ok. but sometime it is because of conduction path. if the coil does not have a closed circuit path or it has a crack on the path, this error occurs. so first click on the coil object and check the conduction path . if the problem solved it is good if not or more help was needed reply this message. I don't know if sharing email is a allowed thing or not. I don't mind but I think admins will restrict it.

moreover if you have long conductor that gets in and out to the region, it MUST has a full cross section to the region on both sides

Hi Zand10000,
Thank you so much for your reply and also good information.
I chose the cross section of conductor same to region, but still it had problem . With changing the initial mesh setting to classic, now it has no problem.

Sorry, guys,

I am new to the Ansys electronics desktop and want to simulate the wireless power transferring between two coils. I am simulating some models to learn the software. I am some questions about my simulation and software. I would really appreciate it if you could answer my question.

1. The software continues the simulation even if it has an error!. Should I stop it when any errors occur? For example, as you can see in the attached image, my ongoing simulation has two errors, but the ANSYS continues running!

2. My simulation takes a too long time. For example, with two coils in a 700*700*150 region, it takes more than 10 hours to finish! My Laptop is hp Core(TM) i5-6200U CPU @ 2.30GHz 2.40 with 8GB RAM.
Is it normal for ANSYS?
