Main Goal
• Why we need to do it:
• Got feedback from field and GTT teams that customers usually start testing Emag solution with
magnetostatic solutions in 2D, hence need to update it to good level.
• Needed also for training material which is planned to be updated.
• What has to be done:
• Introduce missing LBCs in the solutions- this proposal
https://altairengineering.atlassian.net/browse/SLVSIM-10375
• Improve some LBCs to make them consistent with 3D
• Which solutions
• MT2D(blcoker), Mtaxis (blocker), MS2D (blocker), Msaxi (critical),
• CAD based workflow is not included in this proposal. This is a separate ticket
https://altairengineering.atlassian.net/browse/SLVSIM-10324 This is purely for mesh based
workflow. However, new LBCs added in this proposal should work also for CAD bodies, except
2 infinite box which has a different workflow for CAD based.

GLOBAL THINGS

• It looks like if you define two symmetry LBC and then try to modify it, SimLab crashes.
• Tested MT2D and MS2D, consistent crash

Infinite box
• Changing the infinite box workflow would impact
• Motion LBC (Remeshing case)
• Postprocessing – model mapping
• Need to make sure these work as intended after the changes.

LBCs to be improved
• Periodicity (critical)
• Infinite box (blocker)

Infinite box
• Today the infinite box mesh is not created in SimLab, it is done in Flux.
• This has to be homogenized with 3D
• This causes to do some workaround in the case of remeshing.
• Create regional object during LBC creation to show example, same as 3D (depends on
periodicity/symmetry)
• Create mesh in SimLab, when user clicks okay, same as 3D (depends on periodicity/symmetry)\
• LBC lifecycle same as 3D (deleting LBC deletes bodies etc.)

• Show the automatic calculation of offset and angle for rotational periodicity, similar to 3D. Note
sure if repetition is required.
• User can edit these if required (was required for a case from Valeo).

LBCs to be improved
• Infinite box (Blocker)
• Symmetry (High)
• Elements forced to second order – Samia has created a ticket for this

Infinite box
• Same comments as MT2D
• Main differences
• All bodies in the solution can be only in the positive x. Else there will be a problem in Flux.
• Show an error message if this is not the case. Don’t allow to solve.
• Note: it is possible to modify this in Flux, but it seems not to work properly
• Infinite box can be maximum a half circle (positive x axis), depends on symmetry.

Symmetry LBC
• Same as MT2D
• Just remove y axis option

Motion LBC
• Initial implementation was done by Eberlin some time back.
• Need to review what has been done and improve that

LBC improvements
• Infinite box – should be similar to Mtaxi
• Symmetry – similar to Mtaxi
• Elements forced to second order – Samia has created a ticket for this
