Anti periodic boundary conditions with Elmer
Posted: 14 Nov 2023, 05:29
Hi,
I'm currently trying to run a very simple model of an electrical machine stator using Elmer.
As I'm completely new, I'm trying to make myself easier with the functionalities. So I chose a very basic electrical machine geometry in which I forget about the rotor. A constant excitation current is applied in the stator winding and the model runs in magnetostatic regime. Everything is linear.
I'm facing issues using anti periodic boundary conditions. As the subject has been raised many times on the Forum, I tried to use Mortar BCs but it does not seem to work:
Using these BC provides me with the same results as if no BC was applied on the periodic boundaries...
I'm not sure to get how the Mortar BCs should be applied so I think I'm missing something probably very basic.
Thank you a lot in advance for your help !

Code: Select all
Boundary Condition 1
Target Boundaries(1) = 3
Name = "FarField"
Potential = 0.0
End
Boundary Condition 2
Name = StatorMaster
Mortar BC = Integer 1
Mortar BC Static = Logical True
Anti Radial Projector = Logical True
Galerkin Projector = Logical True
End
Boundary Condition 3
Name = StatorSlave
End
Using these BC provides me with the same results as if no BC was applied on the periodic boundaries...
