Error in IPM_Motor_Flux_3D tutorial

Roberto_

Hello,

 

I am doing the IPM_Motor_Flux_3D.pdf tutorial from Flux 2019.1,

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

 

and when I reach page 12 of the '3D Overlay to create the geometry' (after I enter all the values to Create Non Meshed Coil and press OK) I got the following error message:

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

 

Error message:

Failed convert object : class cast error.
Desktop updating step failed.

 

 

I can not skip it because the winding parameters are very important to the study that I am doing.

 

Hope you can help me with this.

 

Thank you in advance

 

Best regards.

Hi,
You are right, following the steps in the pdf file, when I load the macro I get the same error message as you.
To avoid this error messgae, once the goemetry is created you need to unload the Overlay. To do it :
• Leave the context Overlay once the goemetry is created
• Go in the extensions >> select Use overlay >> right click >> select unload
Once the overlay is unload, you load the macro and run it. With this modification it work well.

Best regards.
