How can I simulate a helix coil with current in COMSOL Multiphysics?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on simulating eddy currents in a cracked steel circular rod using COMSOL Multiphysics, specifically with a helix coil creating an alternating magnetic field. The user has successfully modeled a spring coil in SolidWorks but struggles to apply a current through the coil in COMSOL. They seek guidance on adding the necessary AC/DC physics to their model to simulate the coil's functionality as in a laboratory setting. There is a suggestion to consult a dedicated COMSOL modeling forum for more specialized assistance. The user emphasizes the importance of this simulation for their work on Eddy current testing.

Hello !

I am using Comsol Multiphysics in order to simulate the eddy currents in a damaged/cracked steel circular rod, with a helix coil surrounded it and thus creating the alternativ magnetic field.

Actually, I am having a lot of problem in modelling it, mainly because I am new in using Comsol.

My first goal is to model the coil and put an alternativ current in it.

I managed to model a spring coil in Solidworks and import it in Comsol. But i cannot find how to put a current through the material in order to simulate the coil, like we can use it in a laboratory...

I guess, I have to do some things adding Physics, AC/DC, in the model. But what exactly ?

It would be incredible if you could help me, and guide me through my simulation. I need it in order to support my work about Eddy current testing. Of course, I would quote you as helpers and contact in my final work/report if you want.

Up ?
Nobody can help me ?

Maybe I am not in the right section ? I saw people here talking about comsol so I posted ... but i'll see
 
Please ?
 
You should look in a COMSOL modeling forum for the answers. There may not be anyone here who can help you.
 
Posted June 2024 - 15 years after starting this class. I have learned a whole lot. To get to the short course on making your stock car, late model, hobby stock E-mod handle, look at the index below. Read all posts on Roll Center, Jacking effect and Why does car drive straight to the wall when I gas it? Also read You really have two race cars. This will cover 90% of problems you have. Simply put, the car pushes going in and is loose coming out. You do not have enuff downforce on the right...
Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'
Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...
I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly
