Electromagnetic simulators with motion

Click For Summary
Simulating the motion of a metallic object through a magnetic field poses challenges, particularly in dynamic scenarios. The user has experimented with MaxFEM and Meep but is limited to static simulations, moving the object incrementally. There is a need for software that can handle dynamic simulations based on simulated forces. The discussion highlights a gap in available tools for this specific application. Recommendations for suitable software packages that can facilitate this type of simulation are sought.

Hi all

For a recent project, I am looking to simulate a metallic object moving through a magnetic field (think modeling the motion of a solenoid core inside of a coil of wire). I've tried out simulators such as MaxFEM and meep, but I can't seem to figure out how to simulate the motion of an object due to simulated forces. The best I can do is set up a bunch of static simulations, moving the object a fixed distance each time. Is there a software package that would be suitable for this purposes?

Thread 'What mathematics software should engineering students use?'

What mathematics software should engineering students use? Is it correct that much of the engineering industry relies on MATLAB, making it the tool many graduates will encounter in professional settings? How does SageMath compare? It is a free package that supports both numerical and symbolic computation and can be installed on various platforms. Could it become more widely used because it is freely available? I am an academic who has taught engineering mathematics, and taught the...
