Re: [FEMM] spiky flux plot 2

[Keith Gregory <K.Gregory@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Aaron,

I wouldn't be surprised by a "spiky" flux plot but I suspect
that it is made worse because the mesh is not fine enough in the air-gap.
Try making a thin air-gap region with a much finer mesh. In addition, in
the file you have sent there are no boundary conditions set so the
solution will be wrong anyway. The easiest boundary would be to set A=0
around the outside segments, but because of the magnet arrangement I
might be inclined to put an infinite boundary just outside the whole
model.
