15.7. Loading Options for 3D Static Magnetic Analysis (Scalar Method)

For a 3D static magnetic analysis using the scalar formulation, you can apply the following loads:

  • Constraints - Scalar potential (MAG)

  • Forces - Magnetic flux (FLUX)

  • Surface loads - Maxwell surfaces (MXWF)

  • Body loads - Virtual displacement

  • Current (via SOURC36 element type)

To apply constraint-body loads, use the commands listed in Loading Options for 2D Static Magnetic Analysis. You prescribe current sources by defining SOURC36 elements.
