Topology Optimization of a Magnetic Circuit
This model presents an example of topology optimization of the magnetic circuit of a loudspeaker driver. Using topology optimization, we are able to find the shape of a nonlinear iron yoke in order to maximize its performance and, at the same time, minimize the weight such that it is smaller than the original design.
Magnetic Stiffness of an Axial Magnetic Bearing in 3D
The model illustrate the technique to calculate the magnetic stiffness in a 3D geometry of a permanent magnet axial magnetic bearing. The *Magnetic Fields* physics is used to model the bearing and compute the magnetic forces. The *Deformed Geometry* and *Sensitivity* physics are used to compute the magnetic stiffness. This model is featured and explained in much greater detail in the following ...
Electron Beam Diverging Due to Self Potential
When modeling the propagation of charged particle beams at high currents, the space charge force generated by the beam significantly affects the trajectories of the charged particles. Perturbations to these trajectories, in turn, affect the space charge distribution. The Charged Particle Tracing interface can use an iterative procedure to efficiently compute the strongly coupled particle ...
Comparison of Effective HB/BH Curve with Linear and Nonlinear Material Models
This example illustrates how to setup the Effective HB/BH Curve material model, introduced in COMSOL 5.2, for modeling the magnetic materials in frequency domain. The model also compares the results from Effective HB/BH Curve model with the linear and nonlinear HB/BH Curve material model in 2D.
Electric Shielding Comparison
The electric shielding boundary condition is meant to approximate a thin layer of highly conductive material that provides an additional current path tangential to a boundary. This example compares the electric shielding boundary condition to a full-fidelity model and discusses the range of applicability of this boundary condition.
Iron Sphere in a 60 Hz Magnetic Field
An iron sphere is exposed to a spatially uniform, sinusoidally time-varying, background magnetic field. The frequency of the field is low enough such that the skin depth is larger than the radius of the sphere. A reduced field formulation is used to impose the background field. Two approaches for solving this problem are shown. The induced currents in the sphere and the perturbation to the ...
Magnetic Signature of a Submarine
A vessel traveling on the surface or under water gives rise to detectable local disturbances in the Earth’s magnetic field. These disturbances can be used to trigger weapon systems. The magnetic signature of a ship can be reduced by generating a counteracting magnetic field of suitable strength and direction based on prior knowledge of the magnetic properties of the vessel. This model ...
Small-Signal Analysis of an Inductor
If an inductor's magnetic material is nonlinear, then the inductance depends on the current passing through it. This model consists of an inductor with a nonlinear magnetic core, where the small-signal inductance is simulated as a function of current. The model also investigates how the small-signal inductance depends on the DC current.
Touchscreen Simulator
Intended as a tool for early proof of concept in capacitive touchscreen device development, the Touchscreen Simulator app evaluates a simulated capacitance matrix as well as the electric field norm. The app computes the capacitance matrix of a touchscreen in the presence of a human finger phantom, where the position and orientation of the finger are controlled via input parameters. This ...
Computing Intercepted Flux
This example model demonstrates four different approaches for computing the integrals of fields over arbitrarily placed geometries that can be re-positioned without having to re-solve the model. This approach is also useful if you want to integrate the results of a model over different sub-regions that you do not want to include in your original computational model. The example of computing ...
