Meshed Coil - Error

Altair Forum User

Hello,

 

I tried to modle a meshed coil. I defined two cylinders and made a subtraction. Then I made a cut object. Now I have a face for the enternal and exiting face (one of the orange faces).

Then I made a coil conductor Region. 

After that I wanted to 'orient wired of coil conductor regons'. I want Internal terminals. So I selected one of the two faces from the 'cut object'- Operation. After that I checked the physics:

I don't know what is wrong. What can I do to solve the Problem?

 

Thank you in advance.

Hello,

To orient the meshed coil, you need to have the same points in the input and output face.   In your case I think the number of point in the input face is not equal to the number of point on output face. Can you check this? If it is the case you need to correct your geometry.

Best regards.

Hello,

 

Thank you for your answer. How there can be a different number of points, when the existing and the entering face is the same face? 

Could the reason why it doe't work be, that the Coils other points wasn't symmetric  to the reference plane(entering/exiting face)?:

I made a cut on another reference plane(through the 4 lines defined by the subtracted cylinders) and then it works. 

 

Best regards.

I am in the exact same problem. I even created additional cuts in perpendicular axis. Creating 4 pieces of the loop. Then I had to create an assembly to avoid the geometry error. However, The model Still it doesn't work. @Abdessamed Could you please help?

@Abdessamed My geometry looks like in the attachment. Its a rectangular volume of 8.2mm thickness. I created it by subtracting one cuboid from the other. I cut the volume in YZ plane to get the faces to orient the coil conductor. From what the user above suggested, I also cut the volume in XZ plane to produce two additional planes. But I still see the following error. 

Please help how to resolve this error 

CC_CONDUCTOR : On each volume of this region, the number of points on the
input faces must be equal to the number of points of
the output faces and to the number of lines between
the input and output faces.
Please, modify the geometry of each volume of this region
to resolve correctly this problem.

Hi All,

We have improve the definition of the meshed coils into the version 2021.1

There is no more restriction.

Hi,

Can you try to use the Flux 2021.1 as proposed by Yann.

Best regards.

Thank you @Yann Le Floch for your comment. It works in 2021.1. The model with meshed coil definition does not give that error any more. 

Appreciate your help.
