QUESTION:

I am using SOLID5/98 coupled field element, keyoption(1) = 1 (VOLT, TEMP, MAG) to calculate magnetostatic field due to current conduction in a solid conductor. In POST1, I can plot JS (the electric field calculation is being performed correctly), however there appears to be no B field. How do I make the element work correctly?

ANSWER:

In the small test model attached to this solution, I used the following:


C**********************************************************
C*** SOLVE
C**********************************************************
/solu
solv ! SOLVE FOR CURRENT DISTRIBUTION
biot,new ! CALCULATE H w/BIOT-SAVART
solv ! SOLVE FOR B FIELD
fini



Note: This model still produces no B field plot on a 64 bit system. Defect 48582 has been filed regarding this problem.
