simulation of levitating magnet moving due to induced forces

I've been doing a lot of reading on this forum and somehow my questions have only been partially answered:
1.) Can MEF physics be used with a time-dependent solver if it is coupled with a physics module that does allow for a time-dependent solver? In the context of my problem: there is a magnet moving horizontally above an aluminum plate, which induces eddy currents that impart forces on the magnet; can I couple MEF with the Moving Mesh and Global ODE modules and use the time-dependent solver to simulate how the magnet's trajectory would change due to the induced forces?
2.) If that could not be done with MEF, would it work with MF? I know that you need MEF for eddy currents, but would the induced forces still be simulated in MF?
I would really appreciate any sort of help with this. I can't upload my model since it's too big, but you can download it here drive.google.com/file/d/0B7-aYIGRCp-bb1J1OHNlYVk2T0E/view?usp=sharing

Ben,
you don't need mef for eddy currents. This can be done with mf.
Cheers

Hi
have you checked out how its done in the falling magnet from the application gallery ? See here:

Good luck
