Element-Based Harmonic Force Coupling for Eddy Current Designs

For 2D/3D eddy current designs, Maxwell provides element-based solutions for one-way harmonic force coupling via Ansys Workbench. For element-based solutions, there is no need to select objects in Maxwell, because harmonic surface force is a default output in the solver.

For element-based (surface) coupling, there is a harmonic force vector on each surface node for objects. The user must select surfaces on the Workbench Mechanical side before these forces can be mapped. This mapping is done by the Maxwell post-processor.

For element-based (volumetric) harmonic coupling, the force density is calculated at each element of selected objects. The user must select bodies on the Workbench Mechanical side before these forces can be mapped. This mapping is done by the Maxwell post-processor.

For detailed information on setting up and using harmonic force coupling in Workbench, refer to the Workbench help topics: Importing Data into a Harmonic Analysis and Importing Data into a Thermal or Structural (Static or Transient) Analysis
