Question: Problem with solve command

Hi,

I am designing a power transformer using Maple, and I am trying to solve for the minimum number of turns around my core for the desired effect. The equations to solve include numbers of turns (must be positive integers) and other constraints (positive floats).

To validate my worksheet, I am beta-testing it on an existing transformer, so I know of at least one solution that works. But when I submit the equations to Maple, it can't find the solution I know with integer solutions.

 

The equation is :

SOL := `assuming`([solve({N__2/N__1 = m__t, k__c*L__L(g__ap*Unit('m'), N__1)*I__M__pk = (1/2)*V__sec*T__res/m__t, g__ap <= 2*10^(-3), B__max(g__ap*Unit('m'), N__1, I__M__pk) <= B__max__core}, {N__1, N__2, g__ap, I__M__pk}, UseAssumptions)], [N__1::posint, N__2::posint, g__ap::positive])

 

And Maple's answer : 

{N__1 = 7.701193685, N__2 = 12.50000000*N__1, I__M__pk = (-1.855203719*10^9*g__ap^2+1.523613883*10^11*g__ap+5.590656409*10^6)*Unit('A')/(5.000000*10^6+2.43902439*10^8*g__ap), I__M__pk = (-1.100291349*10^11*g__ap^2+9.036307746*10^12*g__ap+3.315727980*10^8)*Unit('A')/(N__1^2*(5.000000*10^6+2.43902439*10^8*g__ap)), g__ap <= 0.2000000000e-2, 0. < g__ap}

 

Except I know there is a solution with N__1 = 6 and N_82 = 75. If I force n__1:=75 and solve again for the other variables, the solution is OK : 

X := `assuming`([solve({N__2/N__1 = m__t, k__c*L__L(g__ap*Unit('m'), N__1)*I__M__pk = (1/2)*V__sec*T__res/m__t, g__ap <= 2*10^(-3), B__max(g__ap*Unit('m'), N__1, I__M__pk) <= B__max__core}, {N__2, g__ap, I__M__pk}, UseAssumptions)], [N__2::posint, g__ap::positive])

And the answer :

X := {N__2 = 75., I__M__pk = -0.3759328777e-1*Unit('Wb')*(8.130081300*10^10*g__ap^2-6.676951220*10^12*g__ap-2.45000000*10^8)/(Unit('H')*(5.000000*10^6+2.43902439*10^8*g__ap)), g__ap <= 0.2000000000e-2, 0. < g__ap}

 

I am a bit puzzled about why Maple doesn't find this solution...

 

Thank you very much for your help.
