Elmer Discussion Forum

Dear all, I think to have found the problem of the simple example "ParticleElstatMag". In my case, "B" is always 0 and scalar however it is defined in the initial condition. This, obviously, means that the particles can't see the magnetic field. Actually I realized a simple 3D mo...

Hi Peter, Sorry it took me so long to answer, in this period I'm very busy... Now I'm resuming this activity. I have run several times the example but as a result I see just the particles "fall" for the electric field. I changed also something in the case.sif in order to explore the possib...

Dear Peter (and the others interested), I started to do some test starting with the example "ParticleElstatMag", but I stopped soon. My problem is definitely related to my lack of competence with Elmer: the effect of the magnetic field is always invisible in the solutions. I tried to incre...

Hi Seems like a good fit. You probably need a series of solvers. You can add them up one-by-one. 1) WhitneyAVSolver and/or StatElecSolver to compute initial fields 2) MagnetoDynamicsCalcFields to get the B fields from A 3) ParticleDynamics to follow the particles Test case ParticleElstatMag is a go...

Hi There are two solvers that utilize particles: ParticleDynamics and ParticleAdvector. Here are consistency tests for the 1st one: ... What would you like to do with it? Generally I would think that it could be quite optimal in following a small number of particles (~< number of nodes) since it ca...

Dear All, I'm learning by myself to use Elmer to determine electric and magnetic fields and then study the beam dynamics in a beam line. Concerning the beam dynamics I'm using another code that can import the field determined by Elmer or with other FEM (actually I used also Simulia Opera by Dessault...
