Rotor/Stator Interface in HEXPRESS

Ko_Shine · April 24, 2019, 11:04

Hello - I'm trying to connect the rotor mesh which I created in AutoGrid with the stator mesh in HEXPRESS. However, when I compute the connection, it fails with the message as follow:

"Problem may be due to the topological patch definition.
Check if one patch is not closed on itself. It is not allowed for Rotor/Stator calculation."

Could someone please explain me why it happens? I would also be most grateful if anyone could give me some suggestion to solve this issue.

Thank you very much in advance.

Hi,

Yes, I've found a solution for this one. The problem was that interface of the stator side had only one face when at least two faces were required for the R-S connection. I needed to split the interface on the stator side into two faces, please see attached image.

I hope it helps.

Cheers
