We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

Hello, firstly please double-check the Model Depth in the Design Settings for your 2D simulation. The model depth directly affects how the 2D simulation represents the 3D component, so it should accurately reflect the actual geometry you're simulating. Next, consider the eddy current effects. These effects might differ between 2D and 3D simulations. Moreover, the most crucial step is to verify whether the magnetic field distribution is consistent between the 2D and 3D simulation.
