Hi my name is Fernando Zúñiga, I´m Engineer Mechanical, at the moment I'm doing my research project for my master's thesis, the topic is about desing of a linear motor with permanent magnets.
I´m doing some simulations in 2D, in  flux 12.3.1, i got the results and until now everething   its ok.

but now i have to do the same,  but the simulation have to done in 3D and i try to learn how use the software, I am doing this tutorial,  'Geometry and mesh tutorial First steps in using Flux 3D basic example' .
and everything have going fine until the page 89, when the tutorial says build the volumes.

and in the output shows me this error ' buildVolumes executed Some intersections may not have been detected' I have only followed the steps that is write on the tutorial and i don´t know what is wrong, i´m a beginner with flux 12.3.1.

I don´t know how can fix it, i need some help and i´d like to know if you can give me some kind a tips to resolve that inconvinient.
i hope you can give me some help 
thank you...

    check the geometry for intersections or something wrong or enter into the 3d modeler and correct-check the  geometry. Upload the model and I try to solve It.

    Hello, i appreciate your quikly answer but i have already do what you tell me,  and still shows me the error  as the matter of fact,  i  have begin another tutorial and  it happens the same thing when i try to build the volumes shows me the same sentence 'Some intersections may not have been detected'.
    So if you have another suggestion it is realy welcome, because a don´t know how can i correct this file. 
    thank you...

    Hello,

    If the tutorial tells to use the build volume function then it means you're using the standard context so you should not enter the modeler to correct your geometry.

     

    About the message, it is only a warning, it should appear in white or orange. Not something important. However If there are some real intersections then maybe the geometry is not correct. In this case I would check the previous steps of the tutorial to see if anything is missing or if you made any mistake.

    Best regards

    Hello Andoni,
    In fact all these tutorials are included as examples in Flux Supervisor, you have all the documents (.ppt and .pdf) and the associated projects there.

    Best regards.
