Problems with coilSolver
Posted: 20 Nov 2018, 01:18
Hi all,
I'm trying to solve for the current in a 3D closed coil (see picture below)
Unfortunately the solution that I obtain with coil solver is not plausible (see picture below, a volumetric view of current density magnitude) because in this case current is a solenoidal field.
Can anybody help me out with this problem?
Here is the link to mesh and sif file: https://www.dropbox.com/s/rpc51jatffecd ... l.zip?dl=0
The sif file can be found also below
Many thanks,
Marco
