The drive currents at this operating point have an rms amplitude of 136.8 A and have a phase advance of 27.92&deg; electrical.&nbsp;According to motorCAD, the D and Q axis flux linkages should be 63.3 mVs and 65.87 mVs respectively.&nbsp;&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When I simulate the machine in Maxwell alone, I obtain these values and the torque is 100 Nm as expected.&nbsp;&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I want to now link the maxwell model to simplorer and drive the machine with an external circuit. The simplorer model is looking like this:&lt;br&gt;<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/11\/20-11-2024-1732094008-mceclip0.png\" \/>&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The machine windings have been purposely connected in the depicted manner such that a parallel-star connected machine results.&nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I have added a parallel resistance to each ideal current source and resistances before\/after each input and output port of the machine model in accordance with the Twin builder connection requirements.&nbsp;&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Transient-transient link has been enabled in Maxwell and the end time set in Maxwell solution setup is greater than the one set in TB aswell.&nbsp;&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When I simulate in TB, the results do not match the expected values as shown below:&lt;br&gt;<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/11\/20-11-2024-1732094320-mceclip1.png\" \/>&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;D flux linkage is close to its expected value of 63.3 mVs, while the q flux linkage at 10 mVs is way off.&lt;br&gt;<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/11\/20-11-2024-1732094344-mceclip2.png\" \/>&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The torque is approx. 23 Nm less than the target, which I believe is linked to the low q flux linkage.&nbsp;&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/11\/20-11-2024-1732094362-mceclip3.png\" \/>&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;These are the drive currents that I am feeding to the machine.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Does anyone have an idea why this is the case when I simulate in TB?
