I'm a beginner in Elmer.
So far, I have tested many cases on the magnetic analysis using Elmer.
But, I failed to get the magnetic forces in 2D Axisymmetric model.
As a example, I have tried it using a double C-core model with a coil.
In the results, I got force(1,2,3) = 6.562606332450E+001 1.881623416445E+003 0.000000000000E+000.
Results of FEMM(another 2D FEM solver) are 0 67.3566 0.
I attach the sif and mesh file.
Please inform me on what is wrong.

Re: incorrect magnetic force in 2D axisymmetric magnetic model
Also, the distributed patterns of Vector potential line are different in FEMM and Elmer(using Paraview) as followings.
[Elmer <Paraview>] [FEMM]
Why different ????

Re: incorrect magnetic force in 2D axisymmetric magnetic model
Hi,
it seems like one of the solvers makes a mistake here, or both have not been fed with the same input parameters.
If I were you, I would sit back and try to find out what would be the expected physical result. I don't see it right away, and I don't have the time right now to think about it and look into my electromagnetics textbook...
Maybe you could build a simpler geometry where the result can be calculated analytically?
HTH,
Matthias

Hi,
have you tried increasing
Steady State Max Iterations?

Note that in case you have an axisymmetric case, in Paraview, you need to multiply the vector potential with 2 * pi * r if you wish to plot the magnetic field lines.Yeonho Jeong wrote:Also, the distributed patterns of Vector potential line are different in FEMM and Elmer(using Paraview) as followings.

So you should take the contour plot from a new variable "a_cont = 2 * pi * coordsX* a" (this you can compute with the Calculator in Paraview). Look at the attached countour plot.

Thank you, Takala !
It works fine in plotting the magnetic field line.
And, I didn't still solve the incorrect magnetic force problem in 2D axisymmetric analysis,
on why the r-component of magnetic force have a big value.
