AI Thread Summary
A user seeks a program to simulate the interactions and forces between magnets for a unique assignment, preferring open-source options but open to commercial software. They emphasize the desire to avoid extensive modeling efforts. A previous thread is referenced for additional context. A recommendation for QuickField software is provided as a potential solution. The discussion highlights the need for accessible simulation tools in magnetism studies.

Hi guys. I got a unique (non-homework) assignment. I'm trying to model the manner in which magnets interact with each other and the forces that they exert on each other when near one another. I would LOVE to do this in an application without investing the time and effort into a full-blown model. Is there such application?

Ideally, it's open-source, but a commercial app will do just fine.

Just noticed that this should be better moved to the computing section. Could someone please move it there?
 

Thread 'Maxwell stress tensor'

This is from Griffiths' Electrodynamics, 3rd edition, page 352. I am trying to calculate the divergence of the Maxwell stress tensor. The tensor is given as ##T_{ij} =\epsilon_0 (E_iE_j-\frac 1 2 \delta_{ij} E^2)+\frac 1 {\mu_0}(B_iB_j-\frac 1 2 \delta_{ij} B^2)##. To make things easier, I just want to focus on the part with the electrical field, i.e. I want to find the divergence of ##E_{ij}=E_iE_j-\frac 1 2 \delta_{ij}E^2##. In matrix form, this tensor should look like this...

Thread 'Applying the Gauss (1835) formula for force between 2 parallel DC currents'

Please can anyone either:- (1) point me to a derivation of the perpendicular force (Fy) between two very long parallel wires carrying steady currents utilising the formula of Gauss for the force F along the line r between 2 charges? Or alternatively (2) point out where I have gone wrong in my method? I am having problems with calculating the direction and magnitude of the force as expected from modern (Biot-Savart-Maxwell-Lorentz) formula. Here is my method and results so far:- This...
