Case Studies

Example(s) of how you can develop real-life solutions using Infolytica software:

Note All Case Studies are in PDF format.

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.

2D Static Problems (Rotational):

• Self-Inductance of a Brooks Coil
  Brooks coils have a simple shape, and are close to the optimum of a coil that has the largest inductance for wire of a given length and cross-sectional area. The inductance can be calculated analytically, making this a useful test problem for checking the accuracy of the results produced by MagNet.
• Mutual Inductance of Coaxial Coils
  Cross-section of a pair of Brooks coils with a common axis -- Some of the flux produced by one coil will link the other coil, so the coils are magnetically coupled. MagNet calculates flux linkages for each coil, so it is possible to determine the values for the inductance in the equivalent circuit.

3D Case Studies Static Problems:
