I have been using Ansys Electronics 2021 R1 for analysis of the prius 2004 IPM as is described in the Ansys Example. However, recently I moved to 2023 R1. Not only does my old model break when I open it using this version, it is also not possible to rebuild the model since whenever I use rmxprt to create sheets, these surfaces throw an error when solving: 

Body could not be created for part SlotCore1 because of invalid parameters of this part or some of its parent part/coordinate system. 
Null body found for part SlotCore1

Is this a known problem? And is there a workaround?

Kind regards

Hi,

From 2023R1 AEDT uses a differeng geometry kernel. Old models may face some geometry conversion issues. The newest release 2024R1 has improved this situation. Please upgrade to 2024R1.

Hi,

 

I am running the model on a linux server. We do not yet have the linux binaries to install 2024R1 on the server so sadly that is not an option at the moment. 
I did manage to get the model working on a windows machine in 2023R1. But if I copy that model to the linux server I again run into issues where bodies cannot be created of rmxprt sheets. 

Is there any way to solve this without installing a new Ansys version?

Hi,

If you have the old version Maxwell model, you can export the geometry as .step file and re-import them back into the new version. This should help re-format the geometry code and fix most geometry issues. But you will have to re-assign the materials and excitations.

Hi GL,

 

Thanks for your reply. I tried your method and it does work, however, I want to change some geometry between simulations using project properties. By importing the .step, all components lose any history information, making it impossible to make any changes. Is there any way to port the geometry and keeping the object history?
