SUMMARY

The discussion centers on simulating a permanent magnet on steel using QuickField software. The user seeks guidance on setting up a simple simulation for a circular magnet with poles on the top and bottom, as part of a senior project. The user expresses uncertainty about the value of the software without a demonstration of its capabilities. QuickField is identified as the primary tool for this simulation, though no specific expert assistance is available in the forum.

PREREQUISITES
  • Basic understanding of magnetic fields and properties of permanent magnets.
  • Familiarity with QuickField software for electromagnetic simulations.
  • Knowledge of steel material properties relevant to magnetic interactions.
  • Ability to interpret simulation results and apply them to project requirements.
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore QuickField tutorials specifically focused on magnetic field simulations.
  • Research the characteristics of circular permanent magnets and their applications.
  • Learn about the setup process for simulations in QuickField, including boundary conditions.
  • Investigate case studies or examples of similar simulations to understand best practices.
USEFUL FOR

Students in engineering or physics, particularly those working on projects involving magnetic simulations, as well as professionals seeking to understand the application of QuickField in electromagnetic analysis.

Hello all. In pursuit of my senior project ideas, I need to simulate a permanent magnet on steel. One of my professors gave me the link to quickfield, but I am a bit confused on how to do this. He said he wouldn't have the time for awhile to help. Do any of you know how to get this simple example setup? I would really appreciate it. This project is one I really want to do, but I don't know if it is worth the money until I get a sim. I know the specs of the magnet, but that is about all. It is a circular magnet with poles on the top and bottom. Thanks ahead of time. I will return to the tutorials now. Thanks.
