Ansys Maxwell Simulation - Torque Fluctuating

AI Thread Summary
The simulation of an eddy current brake using Ansys Maxwell shows fluctuating torque, which may be due to numerical errors rather than mechanical vibrations. Suggestions to resolve this issue include increasing the stiffness of the brake disc and using smaller time steps for better accuracy. Additionally, ensuring that the disk diameter aligns with the grid resolution—either as an odd or even multiple—can help mitigate the fluctuations. These adjustments aim to enhance the stability and reliability of the simulation results. Proper configuration is essential for accurate torque predictions in such simulations.

Hello everyone
I simulated the eddy current brake of 2 1000-turn coils with 5 amp excitation in Ansys Maxwell, but the torque fluctuates. How can I overcome this problem?

Is the brake disc mechanically vibrating? If so, make it stiffer.

The disc rotates from its center, I don't think there is anything that could cause vibration.
 
Since it's a simulation and really rotating from the center, then it must be a numerical error.

Try smaller time steps (probably the easiest).

Also, the disk diameter may need to be either an odd or even multiple of the grid resolution; depends on whether the software treats Points as vertices or centroids.

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...
