@matthewAnsys is this fixed with the latest Motor-CAD release geom checks?

Hello @jgsdavies , @matthewAnsys.

Any updates regarding this feature?

How would I go on and implement this geometry airgap check when using OptiSLang? Currently I have created a script where I iterate the coordinates in my entities and if they cross the rotor diameter in polar coordinates an error gets raised. But it is still possible to run simulations.

I was thinking of somehow writing "success = 0" in the optiSlang script when my geometry enters the airgap but I do not know how to use the adaptive template python script inside MotorCAD together with the Optimization Script created for optiSLang.

Best regards,
Emil

Hi Emil,

If you have built this check into your Adaptive Templates script, I recommend that you raise an exception when the your check is failed.

Then, if you add a Geometry Check into your optimisation script, Motor-CAD will run the geometry check and this will fail due to the Exception raised by the Adaptive Templates script.

I realise this reply is late but I hope it is helpful in case you did not solve the issue in the meantime.

This may be possible with the fix_duct_geometry method introduced with #545

Needs further investigation
