Hello,
I was wondering if anyone can help with a problem I've got regarding Magnetic-Structural-Magnetic Couple Field Analysis. I would like to analyse a high powered electromagnetic, that when it's powered it creates a lot of force, so much that the coil itself is deformed by about 1%. What I would like to do is perform a magnetic analysis, then take the magnetic forces and use them in a structural analysis to find the deformation on the coil. So far so good and I'm getting realistic results.
I'm having trouble with the third step, taking my deformed shape and doing another magnetic analysis. When I do this normally I don't seem to be using the deformed shape that I had got from the structural analysis. I think this is because the LDREAD command doesn't have an option to take the results from a structural solution into a magnetic solution.
Is there an easy way I can do this?
Any other hints or tops would be greatly appreciated.
I'll attach my macro for reference.
Cheers
George
