Transient Report of Object-based Harmonic Force Components

When object-based harmonic force is activated, the transient force data of selected harmonic force objects are available for plot in Maxwell transient solvers. The force component data is recorded at every timestep, starting from time zero. To create a transient report of object-based harmonic force components:

  1. In the Enable Harmonic Force Calculation dialog box, on the General tab, select Object Based as the harmonic force Type. Then check the Force Dependent objects for which force calculations are desired.

  2. Create a Transient Report under Results in the Project Manager tree.

  3. Select Force as the Category, and then select the harmonic force components you want to plot:

    • For 2D (XY) designs: HarmonicForce_mag, HarmonicForce_x, HarmonicForce_y.

    • For 3D designs: HarmonicForce_mag, HarmonicForce_x, HarmonicForce_y, HarmonicForce_z.

    • For 2D (RZ) designs: HarmonicForce.z.

Transient force reports also support Maxwell 2D with skew slice model. The transient force is calculated on each slice, and there are n forces available to be plotted for each selected object.

Note: For detailed information on Skew Model settings, refer to the Model Settings Tab topic.
