Re: Filled rectangular wave guide (VectorHelmholtz)

Put in some messages and it appears that during the model info phase upfront MaxOutputLevel is set to 31 regardless of user input. This assures that some model info is output upfront. level: 20 MaxOutputLevel: 31 CheckKeyword: Found keyword type assuming suffix 1 for: variable 2 making this change e...

Re: Filled rectangular wave guide (VectorHelmholtz)

My mistake, It is not CheckKeyWord Warn, it is a message from the model description saying the variable type was assigned using an assumption. Therefore the CheckKeyWord flag will not work. Interesting that in the code that the message level is set to 20, ModelDesription.F90 IF ( HashEqualKeys( Val ...

Re: Trouble downloading Elmer's .ova file.

Tested it on Linux it works fine. Switched over to W10, same problem as you. Why, W10 wants to open the file not download it, and W10 doesn't know what a ova file is. On W10 right click on the file instead, go down to the option that says save link as, it then will download and save the file. You ca...

Re: Model induction between two coils

I do not know how to do that for coil solver and MagDyn. I do know how to for StressSolver, displacement, elastic response, etc. Typically a convergence study works, keep refining, is the answer getting better or unchanging. Eventually it will make no appreciable difference and then the mesh is as f...

Re: Model induction between two coils

There is not specific information but the higher the number the more messages are echoed, the lower the number the more important the messages are. The integer value levelnumber indicates the importance of the message, starting from 1 (most important). The maximum level of messages being displayed c...

Re: Filled rectangular wave guide (VectorHelmholtz)

Check Keywords "Warn" usually placed in the beginning of the input file. When this command is given, the solver outputs warning messages if the input file contains keywords that are not listed in the file of known keywords. If new keywords are introduced, misleading warning messages can be...

Re: Advice on solver settings for MagDyn

I believe that is why a sphere is commonly used.

Re: Advice on solver settings for MagDyn

You could try and specify the components of the field and leave the block un-rotated Boundary Condition 2 Target Boundaries(1) = 2 Name = "Back" Magnetic Field Strength 1 = Real -2500 Magnetic Field Strength 2 = Real -2500 End where the values depend on the rotation of the field in the cube.

Re: Advice on solver settings for MagDyn

The far field boundaries specify the tangential components of the magnetic field H = (1/μ)B and the normal component of current density J = σE′. Your model is in cartesian so the farfield is rotated to the coordinate system. Because of this often you will see the far field as a sphere not a cube. Th...

Re: Is Elmer The Right Tool to Learn to Model a MHD drive

Elmer may be the only tool. It is certainly the only tool that is open source and free to use. It is definitely the easiest to use and learn,
