Case studies

Coupled simulations where the electromagnetic field drives the mechanics or the heat. Forces and power losses are captured without an air mesh, and parts move freely without re-meshing.

Magnet falling through a conducting tube, with velocity and force over time

Mechanics + electromagnetics

Eddy current brake

Mechanical and electromagnetic forces coupled
FEM–BEM coupling in the time domain
No re-meshing during the simulation

Two coated magnets snapping together, with the magnetic forces on them

Structural analysis + electromagnetics

Two snapping magnets

Two magnets coated with a non-magnetic material. Applications include actuators and magnetic cases.

Heat + electromagnetics

Induction heating

Eddy current losses act as the heat source in a coupled electromagnetic–thermal analysis.
