Chapter 4: 2D Transient Magnetic Analysis

Transient magnetic analysis is a technique for calculating magnetic fields that vary over time, such as those caused by surges in voltage or current or pulsed external fields. In a transient magnetic analysis, typically the quantities you want to analyze are:

  • Eddy currents

  • Power loss due to eddy currents

  • Magnetic forces induced by eddy currents

A transient magnetic analysis can be either linear or nonlinear.
