At 7:43, when the solver is run, at what frequency/cies does it solve the model for? Can we change the solver's frequency? (I did Sif/generate to see if there is any "frequency" keyword in the simulation, I didnt find anything denoting frequency.)
I believe it's possible since Elmer has several solvers with a frequency variable, but I was never able to use them effectively. That's why I switched to OpenEMS for frequency-dependent problems and now only use Elmer for DC (0 Hz) simulations.
You Single-handedly broke the 3D EM fields tutorials by creating the best tutorials on youtube and set the expensive 3D EM simulator tools off the market! haha
😁 Thank you! I like to think of it as expanding the options. By making EM simulations more accessible, more engineers can explore this field, which might actually drive even more demand for the advanced commercial tools. It's all about building a bigger community where everyone can thrive! 😉✨
Check 7:04. Is it possible to name the "Boundary1,2,3.." from Salome so that its easier to pick them in Elmer? because say your model is more complex, you cant sit all day and try to find each surface. I see that when we make the "Groups of faces" in Salome we are left with names like "Group, Group_0, Group1... etc" but these are not the names the Elmer uses obviously.
Theoretically, it's possible, but in practice, it's not very useful to do it with the Elmer GUI. You can try double-clicking on a face, which will highlight it in the geometry tree view. Unfortunately, the Elmer GUI is quite unstable and often crashes when selecting and renaming faces. Additionally, the GUI has long loading times whenever a face is selected. One solution to the problem is to use the non-gui approach as shown in this video: th-cam.com/video/X85qwJyqblU/w-d-xo.html At 10:22, I show an example of how to identify which Salome face corresponds to which face in the Elmer sif file. But yeah, the command-line approach isn't the fastest either, so there's definitely room for improvement when it comes to the stability of ElmerGUI.
