Geometry Imperfections and Complicated Models

Modeler > Import

Many formats can be handled, but Ansys recommends importing a version of the geometry that is as close as possible to its source rather than geometries that have been translated before from one format to another or that have been imported into another computational tool and later exported from it.

Modeler > Validation Settings

Geometry imperfections are listed as kernel errors when executing Maxwell > Validation Check and when starting an analysis. Ansys recommends attempting to heal objects with such errors. However, Maxwell enables you to bypass the errors (not the check itself) by choosing a setting under Modeler > Validation Settings. Check Warning Only to ignore all errors. Check Basic to bypass all but the most severe errors. The Maxwell mesh generator has been enhanced to handle many geometry errors.
