electromagnetic force on thin slab

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hi,

I'm studing the electromagnetic force produced by three different coils on a very thin slab at the same time. The coils work one in DC(continue current) and the other two in AC(alternate currents). I'm woundering if is possible show the electromagnetic force on the surface of the slab. I have already computed the total force on the slab using force calculation but now i would like to see the force distribution on the slab and not the tatal value. Is possible see the EM foreach element of the slab's mesh, or is possible to define domains in the slab using postprocessing? Can someone help me?

Cheers
Nicola

The variables mf.Fltzx, mf.Fltzy, mf.Fltzz are the Lorentz force densities in a rectangular coordinate system when using the Magnetic Fields physics module.
