Generating the Mesh

The starting simulation contains predefined operations for preparing and meshing the geometry. These operations include generating contacts between the parts, rotating the rotor air gap into its starting position, and generating a tetrahedral volume mesh for all parts.

  1. Multi-select the first 7 mesh operations:


  2. Right-click one of the selected nodes and select Execute.
  3. Under the Regions > Motion Specification: Rotation > Rotor Air Gap > Boundaries > Rotor Air Gap node, select (Custom Editor) next to Parts.
  4. In the Part Surface dialog, activate Imprint and click OK.
    Make sure you leave the remaining surfaces selected.
  5. Repeat the previous two steps for the Regions > Motion Specification: Stationary > Stator Air Gap > Boundaries > Stator Air Gap node.
  6. Right-click the Operations > Airgap Volume Mesh node and select Execute.
  7. Right-click the Scenes node and select New > Mesh.
  8. Expand the Scenes > Mesh Scene 1 > Mesh 1 node and set the following properties:
    Node Property Setting
    Mesh 1 Color Mode Distinguish Regions
    Parts Parts Deactivate all Fluid regions and Regions > Motion Specification: Stationary > Stator Teeth


  9. Save the simulation.
