Volume mesh is not conformal, hanging modes are found in the mesh.

      What does this warning mean, and how can it be fixed?

      Hello,

      Could you rightclick mesh and go to the Advanced tab of initial mesh setting, check if you choose Flex meshing for TAU volume mesh? If yes, please uncheck the box and re-run.

      Hello,

      I have not selected Flex meshing for TAU volume mesh.

      ps.

      Is there a general guideline that would have presented possible reasons and solutions for different warning messages?

      Is this a Maxwell model? Conformal mesh is usually mentioned in Fluent. What is the total mesh element number?

      We have documented some possible causes for common error messages in customer portal >>ANSYS solutions.

      Thank you very much for your help!

      I am a new user, and in order to use the Maxwell3D simulation software for my work, I need to gain a sufficient understanding of result validity. This will help me build confidence that the simulation results are sufficiently close to the actual outcome. What is the prerequisite for using the software.

      Below is the module I used and the solver type.

      Below is (maybe) the number of mesh elements since the last pass, if it is the wrong number then please tell me where I can find the correct value.

      It seems the model works with the warning. The model is hanging only because the model is too large.

      Is there a way I could assess when a model is too large? And can you explain what ‘hanging modes’ mean in the context of a model?
