Need help simulating the braking torque for rotating disc (eddy current braking)

  I have a setup involving a rotating disc at a certain speed and 2 electromagnets place in front of it. I'm having a problem where when I solve the simulation, the torque output graph shows a lot of transient behavior. I have tried decreasing the step size but that doesn't seem to help. Additionally changing the speed of the disc does not change the torque plot but it should. Here is my model and the torque graph mentioned. Any help would be appreciated and please let me know if you would like more information about my simulation setup.

  Hello Jared,
  I do not see the torque result. Could you show it again?
  Could you enable eddy effect on the disk and have inner band? I am not sure why you have two coil terminals for one winding (one coil)? One coil should have one coil terminal for this 3D coil.
