QUESTION:

How to setup a constant external magnetic field in Emag LF?


ANSWER:

The procedure for creating a constant external magnetic field depends upon which element technology you need to use.

Please see the attached input files that define a free space permeable domain and impose boundary conditions giving rise to uniform B field. I created 4 files; one for each of the formulations currently available in ANSYS.

1) 2D_MVP.inp: 2D PLANE53 mesh, uniform B field acting in y direction. Exploits fact that B = curl A.
2) 3D_MVP.inp: 3D SOLID97 mesh, uniform B field acting in the y direction. Exploits fact that B = curl A.
3) 3D_MSP.inp: 3D SOLID96 mesh, uniform B field acting in the y direction. Uses fact that H = grad MAG and B = mu*H.
4) 3D_edge.inp: 3D SOLID117 mesh, uniform B field acting in the y direction. Uses undocumented DREC command.

Ps. For some reason, the DREC model will NOT run unless element type 36 is defined in the database (even though no SOURC36 elements are defined).
