Hello,

I am simulating a flywheel energy storage system consisting of two rims and one hub. Therefore I am using three parts, two of them have as many partitions as layers (up to 75 but only 0 degree plies). Additional a press fitting is simulated in the first step. In the second step a rotational force up to 40000rpm is simulated. The simulation runs, no errors BUT if I want to look on the results something "weird" happens. The solid rims (but not the hub) appear faceted (see attached picture)and after one day of searching for the error I hope you can help me The whole system is scrypted in Python (which I attached too). So everybody can run the simulation (on my laptop around 10min) and investigate the result.

Thanks very much in advance,

no one has a clue what it could be?

These faces are the sections of your layered solid. But I think your stack direction is wrong. I assume you want your layers in radial direction.

In mesh modul you can check the stack direction that with Tools -> Query and change it with Mesh -> Controls (or button).

You are the best ;-)

You are right, I forgot to change the stack direction. Problem solved!

Thank you.
