    How to cut a surface in ANSYS workbench?

    This is more complicated than it sounds. I'd like to analyse a fracture in a surface body so I need to create a no thickness or infinitesimally small cut/slice if it is possible. Afterwards, I'm planing to analyse stress concentration factor in model environment.

    Why is the Lorentz force calculated in Ansys Maxwell so low?

    Why is the Lorentz force calculated in Ansys so low? According to the formula F=B*I*l, it is supposed to be at least 1000 times higher. The model is really simple: a magnetically conductive plate in a static magnetic field inducts the magnetic field from the surrounding space, which makes its...
