How to plot the 3D model field map mesh


I have build a 3D detector model in the Ansys, and finished the finite electric analysis. Now I have imported the NLIST.lis etc. to the Garfield++, but I can’t gain the 3D plot of the mesh elements and electric potential field.

Hi,
not sure if this is the reason for the contour plot being empty, but there is something odd/unusual about the materials. What do the three materials in your field map correspond to?

1 Like

one is the FR4 insulating plastic, another is the Cu, and the last one is the Al. there is no gas in the detector. I just want to set it in the Garfield++.

Ah, ok, thanks!

The reason for the empty contour plot is that all voltages in your field map (all values in the file PRNSOL.lis) are zero:

That’s strange, this is my screen shot, and even the voltages is not zero, the contour is empty too.

Ok, but this is a different field map than the one from your previous post, no?
Can you attach the files?

Ok, I will start a new ansys finite analysis, and import the model once again. then I attach the files here. Besides I want to ask another question, how I set the proton particle,and gain the proton track , dose-rate plot in the detector?

Hi, this is the files when I imported to the Garfield++, and thanks again for your help.

Hi,this is my contour plot, it is still empty.

Can you please attach the .lis files?

Sorry,my misunderstand. the files is too large, I have send them to your email heinrich.schindler@cern.ch, thanks a lot!

Hi, I simplified my model and imported to the Ansys, however , the result shows not only no contour plot, but also “Node number 4504948 out of range”. The full version and the simplified version has different result, I have send all the files to your email, and would you please help me to find the reason, thanks a lot!

The simplified version result is in the below:

Hi,
I had a quick look at the “full version”. Most of the nodes (about 85%) have a potential of 0 V, and the other nodes all have a potential of 1500 V.

Is that what you expect?

It’s a bit difficult to see due to the flood of error messages but the problem seems to be with the file ELIS.lis (in the “simplified” version):

ComponentAnsys123::Initialise:
    Synchronisation lost on file ELIST.lis (line 6474).
    Element: 109853 (expected 2812), material: 1,
    nodes: (475790, 475791, 475424, 475430, 475841, 475842, 475843, 475844, 475845, 475386)

The list of elements jumps from index 2812 to 109853.

Yes, only the high voltage board have been applied the electric boundary, the signal board have been set the zero voltage. Is that the reason for the empty contour plot?

wow, Maybe the ansys result is wrong, but the solve is done. I don’t know what’s the key point. is that because the unsuitable mesh or the voltage boundary or anything else. Thanks a lot for helping me, really appreciate that.

I suspect that the reason for the empty contour plot is that it shows a slice of the map where all potentials are identical to zero.

I don’t know at all if that’s the reason for the issue, but maybe check if you have “glued” together all volumes that touch each other in Ansys…

Hi,it indeed has a slice of the map where all potentials are identical to zero. that’s because the signal board is an equally-spaced copper wire structure, and I set them all to zero voltage. in the full version I didn’t set up the contact area, but in the deleted version I had . actually I don’t know whether I should do the contact face step, because you have said that the Garfield++ only accept the Solid123. as long as I set up the contact area, the element type will be added some more. Is that the reason for the empty contour plot ?
