Maxwell 2D and 3D Finite Element Model Prerequisites

A Maxwell 2D or 3D Transient project must satisfy the following requirements:

• The model must be ready to solve.
• The model must not have more than one motion setup.
• The model must have at least one external winding.
• It is recommended that design names avoid using illegal characters such as the “space” character. Illegal characters are replaced with an underscore character. See the section on naming conventions for additional information.
  Note:

  See the Maxwell documentation for detailed information on working with Maxwell 2D and 3D projects.

After Twin Builder runs the Maxwell 2D or 3D Transient project, the model, mesh, materials, sources, and boundary conditions will remain unchanged. But the following changes will occur:

• The previous solution is over-written, and most likely is different from a standalone Maxwell 2D or 3D Transient solution.
• Time step and stopping time may change.
• Mechanical transient setup will have been disabled, but the functions are still there.
