A magnetostatic analysis offers several results items for viewing. Results may be scoped to bodies and, by default, all bodies will compute results for display. You can use the Details view to view vector results in several ways. Magnetic Flux Density, Magnetic Field Intensity, and Force represent the magnitude of the results vector and can be viewed as a contour or as a directional vector. Any directional solution represents direction vector components (X, Y, Z) of the vector. They may be displayed as a contour.

Magnetostatic Probes can be used to determine the following results:

Known Limitation

In some instances, during the solution process for magnetic analyses, the application may automatically generate new elements that are not included in the original mesh or within a geometry body. Furthermore, these elements may contain magnetic force (FMAG) results.

These elements are considered to be supplementary elements. If one of these supplementary elements share a node with an element from the original mesh, the forces from the supplementary elements can contribute to the force value at the shared node.

Regardless of whether you scope results to a body, the supplementary elements may still contribute to the force results at nodes of the scoped body.

Using the /POST1 command, you can counteract this effect by unselecting the element type associated with the supplementary elements with the command string: ESEL,U,TYPE.
