Electromagnetic simulators with motion

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on the challenges of simulating the motion of metallic objects within magnetic fields, specifically using software tools like MaxFEM and Meep. The user is seeking a solution to dynamically simulate the movement of a solenoid core inside a coil of wire, rather than performing static simulations. The need for a software package that can handle dynamic simulations of forces acting on moving objects is emphasized.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of electromagnetic simulation principles
  • Familiarity with MaxFEM and Meep software
  • Knowledge of solenoid and coil dynamics
  • Basic programming skills for scripting simulations
NEXT STEPS
  • Research dynamic simulation capabilities in COMSOL Multiphysics
  • Explore the use of OpenFOAM for electromagnetic simulations
  • Learn about Lagrangian and Eulerian methods in physics simulations
  • Investigate the integration of Python with Meep for advanced simulations
USEFUL FOR

Engineers, physicists, and simulation specialists involved in electromagnetic modeling and those looking to enhance their skills in dynamic simulation of moving objects within magnetic fields.

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?
