How to get force between two permanent magnets using ANSYS?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on using ANSYS to calculate the force between two permanent magnets with varying geometries. The user has imported the magnets' geometry from SolidWorks but is uncertain about setting up the magnetic properties and generating a solution within the ANSYS magnetostatic module. Experienced users are encouraged to provide guidance or recommend tutorials to facilitate the process. The inquiry also opens the floor for alternative methods or software that may simplify the task.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with ANSYS magnetostatic module
  • Basic understanding of magnetic properties and configurations
  • Experience with SolidWorks for geometry import
  • Knowledge of magnetic force calculations
NEXT STEPS
  • Research how to set up magnetic properties in ANSYS magnetostatic module
  • Explore tutorials on ANSYS for simulating magnetic forces
  • Investigate alternative software for magnetic force analysis, such as COMSOL Multiphysics
  • Learn about manual calculations for magnetic forces between permanent magnets
USEFUL FOR

Engineers, physicists, and researchers involved in magnetics, particularly those utilizing ANSYS for simulations and calculations of magnetic forces between permanent magnets.

Hello,

I am working on a project which requires me to find the force between two permanent magnets. The configuration of the two magnets is variable, and they are of different geometries, so I thought the best way to do this would be by using ANSYS.

I have never used the ANSYS magnetostatic module before, so I am very unsure as to how to use it. I imported the magnets' geometry into ANSYS from SolidWorks, but now don't know how to proceed (how to set up magnetic properties and generate a solution).

Does anyone have experience with this software who can help me or direct me to good tutorials or guides? Alternatively, is there an easier way to do this that I'm missing (either by hand or with another, easier software)?

Thanks in advance for your help!
