ANSYS Maxwell 2D 2dof movement not single line translation

AI Thread Summary
Setting a 2-degree-of-freedom movement in ANSYS Maxwell 2D is challenging, as the software primarily supports single-axis translation and rotation. Users suggest utilizing Maxwell's magneto-static capabilities to create a lookup table for magnetic forces at various positions in a 2D plane. This approach requires coupling the Maxwell model with a dynamic system in MATLAB to simulate the magnet's movement under Lorentz forces. However, generating the lookup table can be time-consuming, and there are difficulties in feeding back transient positions to Maxwell for real-time force generation. Overall, achieving the desired 2D movement requires a combination of tools and careful integration.

Dear all,
is there anybody knows how to set a 2 degree-of-freedom movement in ANSYS Maxwell 2D transient model? I have two fixed current-excited coils and a free magnet. The magnet should be able to move in a 2D space under the Lorentz forces. However, there are only translation and rotation model in ANSYS Maxwell 2D... I can specify only single axis of movement but not a 2D free movement...I would like to see how the magnet moves under the Lorentz forces and how this movement effect the Lorentz forces at the same time. Thank you. I would greatly appreciate it if anyone could help me out.

Thank you in advance for answering!

Thank you so much for your attention.
I think Maxwell 16 cannot handle the 2D movement in the transient model. I have to use Maxwell magneto-static to generate a Lookup table showing the magnetic force at each position in a 2D plane, and build a model of a dynamic system using Matlab to figure out the movement of the moving object under the magnetic force.Since the magnetic force depends on the location, the Matlab model and the Maxwell model should be coupling. It works, however, generating the lookup table takes quite a long time. I have tried to couple Maxwell to Ansys dynamic model, but cannot figure out how to feed back the transient position to the Maxwell and then generate the real-time magnetic force to the Ansys.
 
Hi all, i have some questions about the tesla turbine: is a tesla turbine more efficient than a steam engine or a stirling engine ? about the discs of the tesla turbine warping because of the high speed rotations; does running the engine on a lower speed solve that or will the discs warp anyway after time ? what is the difference in efficiency between the tesla turbine running at high speed and running it at a lower speed ( as fast as possible but low enough to not warp de discs) and: i...

My water meter is submerged under water for about 95% of the year. Today I took a photograph of the inside of my water meter box because today is one of the rare days that my water meter is not submerged in water. Here is the photograph that I took of my water meter with the cover on: Here is a photograph I took of my water meter with the cover off: I edited the photograph to draw a red circle around a knob on my water meter. Is that knob that I drew a red circle around my meter...
