Ansys Maxwell error when moving a magnetic core and a copper cylinder with a hole

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around an error encountered in Ansys Maxwell when attempting to simulate the movement of a magnetic core and a copper cylinder with a hole. The error message indicates issues with handling a multiply connected region for eddy currents, specifically mentioning the need for proper band definition and container wrapping for moving objects. The user seeks assistance in resolving this error and requests a screenshot of the geometry to better understand the setup. Clarification on the geometry and movement is essential for troubleshooting the issue effectively. The conversation emphasizes the importance of accurate modeling in simulation software to avoid such errors.

Hello.
I have a magnetic core and a copper cylinder with a hole. I ask the cylinder to rotate and the magnet to move from left to right. I want to calculate Foucault currents in a copper cylinder, but an error appears.
"Failture in handing multiply connected region to eddy current. 1. Band definition. 2. Moving object in the band should be wrapped by a container object"
I Need a help.

Were you able to figure this error out yet?

Can you post a screenshot of the geometry and the movement? I'm not able to tie your description of the geometry to the figure that I see on your screen...
 

Thread 'What happens if shielded cable has a short to the shield?'

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...

Thread 'Underwater piezoelectric sensor array receive sensitivity'

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...

Thread 'Question about bonding ground and neutral'

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...
