KODEX M-001 FEM Campaign Log

From CAD to Scientific Simulation

Pipeline FEM validatedMagnetostatic simulation pending validation

Infrastructure-validation dashboard for the CAD-to-VTU path. The campaign records reproducibility, evidence capture and readiness for the first validated magnetostatic case.

Overview for illustration only. It reflects the established infrastructure path from Fusion 360 to ParaView, not a live data feed or a physics result.

Executive Summary

This campaign tracks the validated infrastructure path from CAD geometry to a ParaView-readable VTU artifact. The current scope is reproducibility, evidence capture and preparation for a controlled magnetostatic validation case.

Pipeline

100%

CAD to VTU path validated for infrastructure.

Magnetostatic Model

20%

Draft framework exists; physics validation is pending.

Controlled Comparison Pending

The 16P vs 20P comparison area is reserved for future controlled cases. No comparative torque, EMF, efficiency, voltage, power, energy-gain or final electromagnetic-performance data is available or claimed at this stage.

Scientific Disclaimer

This FEM campaign is currently in infrastructure-validation stage. The present outputs confirm the simulation pipeline, but do not yet validate torque, EMF, efficiency, energy gain, or final electromagnetic performance.
