This is part of my thesis. I'm trying to simulate the magneto-structural coupled analysis on a magnetic gear. The attached file is a picture of my result.
The cylinder consists of permanent magnets and steel, which can be treated as a rotor. The single bar is also made of steel. It is static analysis. I just want to modulate the maximum of the single steel rod's deflection.
The three physics I used for coupled analysis is : AC/DC no current, Structural, ALE.
The FEA result on steel rod deflection is half of the experimental result. I'm wondering if I'm setting the wrong mesh. I use "Free Tetrahedral". Set the mesh as 'user controlled mesh'. Should I use "Physic controlled mesh" when ALE is used?
I'm thinking if I should use 'swept mesh'. Yet it not worked when I try to mesh the air region.
Thanks.
