I'm trying to simulate a linear induction motor in comsol using the Magnetic fields physics in the AC DC Module and I am facing a couple of issues.
1. BH_Cuves and non linear solver: I would like to add a BH curve for the inductor but when I add one in the materials property, or use the bh curve included by default with the material, the non-linear solver doesn't work, it gives an error saying max. no. of newton iterations reached. What might I be going wrong?
2. Laminated Core: What would be the best way to get a laminated core set up in 2d. According to a post on a forum, I tried to set an anisotropic model of my material by setting the conductivity in the z direction as 0. This yields rather high thrust forces than expected.
3. Multi-turn coils in 2d: I would like to use the multi turn coils domain for the windings but when I set them up, they seem to give me really low thrust forces. When I switch to an equivalent energy current density, I get correct values for the thrust forces.
Thanks for the help!
