Up,

Also interested to know how to make this work!

Hello, Thanks for the reply, yes you're right it makes no sense to have different periodicity. I duplicated the stator so that its angle matches the rotor and now it works with mortar, thanks! However, as the air velocity is very high in the air gap and I don't model it with CFD, I would like to imp...

Up, still interested to know if such "mixing plane" condition exists, as otherwise I will have to copy several times the mesh to have the same angle for rotor and stator, which is not optimal. Or maybe it is possible to set conforming mesh conditions just like surfaces but for duplicated v...

Good morning, Thanks for your very quick response! Unfortunately using Galerkin in the flux solver won't modify the temperature computed in the stator beforehand with a flux too high. As my rotor is very fast, I believe a mixing-plane boundary condition would be perfect : https://www.cfd-online.com/...

Hello everyone! I have tried to use mortar with a rotational projector to design the air gap of an electric machine. The flux looks quite good in the rotor but there is a discontinuity when it go inside the stator. I have 33W dissipated in each pole of my rotor (6 in total) and my stator has 36 slot...
