Maxwell 2D (ANSOFT): Band problem

In summary: Expert summarizerIn summary, the user is having trouble with Maxwell v15 and its linear motion and force calculations. They have received a warning message about the objects in their model coming close to the borders of the electromagnetic field area, but not actually touching them. The expert advises to check the positioning and movement of the objects and make sure they are not touching the borders, as well as trying to adjust parameters and settings to see if the warning message disappears. If the objects are not touching the borders, the solution can be trusted, but it is always a good idea to double-check results.

Dear all,
I'm a common user of Maxwell v15, though this is the first time I've tried to work with Linear Motion and Force calculation in it.

I've got two solids translating in my model, and they get in a electromagnetic field área. I want to calculate the braking force in each object, so I've assigned the Parameters/Force for each of them.

Though the simulation runs, a warning message "Object touches band! Force calculation unreliable!".

I've checked if it was true, and the solids never touch the borders of the Band (they're in).

So, is something wrong in my model? Is there any way to solve the problem? Can I trust the solution even with this message?

Thanks all!

Dear user,

Thank you for reaching out with your question about Maxwell v15 and its linear motion and force calculations. As a scientist familiar with this software, I would like to offer some insight and advice.

Firstly, the warning message you received is a common one that appears when the objects in your model come close to the borders of the electromagnetic field area, but do not actually touch them. This can happen due to the discretization of the field area and is not necessarily an indication of an error in your model. However, it is important to check the positioning and movement of your objects to ensure they are not actually touching the borders at any point during the simulation.

If you have confirmed that the objects are not touching the borders, then you can trust the solution despite the warning message. However, it is always a good idea to double-check your results and make sure they make physical sense.

If you are still unsure about the accuracy of your results, you can try adjusting the parameters and settings in your model to see if the warning message disappears. This could include changing the discretization of the field area or adjusting the force calculation parameters.

I hope this helps and wish you success in your simulations. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any further questions or concerns.
