Applying a AC magnetic field as an input variable

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Dear all,

I would need a little help for a magnetic simulation. I'd like to apply an AC magnetic field between the two opposite faces of my box. I don't want to apply a AC current that will generate a magnetic field because I want to get rid of skin effect in the conductor that will lead to a change of my magnetic field over frequency. The idea is rather to check the impact of eddy curents generated on different conductive structures wrt to the input AC magnetic field. Do you know which module and how to implement such a configuration? I looked into the mfnc module but I didn't find appropriate features.

Looking forward to hearing from you. Best Regards,

Simon,

you will need to use mf, as you have eddy currents in the conductors. Regarding the field, you may check if a background field is doing what you want. It varies with the frequency in a frequency domain study.
