I'm seeing if I can find a solution in QuickField, its not got very good instructions but I'll figure it out.
Clyde38 - that book looks very interesting, I'll have to read it some time.
ok, I've checked out Femm and been through the magnetic tutorial. It seems to me that it can work out the magnetic flux desnity (as well as a few other values) which is handy but its not quite at detailed as i was looking for.
Is there an FEA that can also work out the Force applied to an...
I don't know anything about FEA programs but I was told to use one instead of trying to calculate everything myself.
I'm trying to find out the force exerted by the solenoid on an object on axis beyond the pole. I was wondering if anyone here knows the best FEA to use for this kind of analysis.
