Could this be due to an incorrect initial position? If so, how should I set the initial position? I&rsquo;ve heard a lot about aligning it with the phase, but I&rsquo;d like to know precisely which equations or methods I can use to achieve proper alignment.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.&lt;\/p&gt;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-403653","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_forum_id":["27793"],"_bbp_topic_id":["403653"],"_bbp_subscription":["485176","82626"],"_bbp_author_ip":["155.230.175.33"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["407466"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["407466"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2025-01-28 20:38:22"],"_bbp_reply_count":["1"],"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":["0"],"_bbp_voice_count":["2"],"_bbp_engagement":["485176","82626"],"_btv_view_count":["266"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"]},"test":"wonseiii99gmail-com"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/403653","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/403653\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=403653"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
