2D Static Problems (Translational):

• Magnetic Latch with Permanent Magnet
  C-core permanent magnet -- This case study is similar in principle to the C-core Actuator 2D Case Study, except that the excitation for the magnetic circuit is provided by a permanent magnet. The objectives are to examine the magnetic field in the various parts of the magnetic circuit, and to determine the force on the square armature plate and the self-inductance of the coil.

3D Case Studies Static Problems:
