The following magnetostatic probe types are available.
| Probe Type | Applicable Analysis Types | Output | Characteristics |
|---|---|---|---|
| Flux Density | Magnetostatic | Flux Density: X axis, Y axis, Z axis |
Scope to: body. Scope by: bodies, location only, vertex, edge, face. Orientation coordinate system: any; defaults to Global Cartesian. |
| Field Intensity | Magnetostatic | Flux Intensity: X axis, Y axis, Z axis |
Scope to: body. Scope by: bodies, location only, vertex, edge, face. Orientation coordinate system: any; defaults to Global Cartesian. |
| Force Summation[a] | Magnetostatic | Force Sum: X axis, Y axis, or Z axis; Symmetry Multiplier |
Scope to: body. Scope by: bodies. Orientation coordinate system: any; defaults to Global Cartesian. |
| Torque[b][a] | Magnetostatic | Torque: X axis, Y axis, or Z axis; Symmetry Multiplier |
Scope to: body. Scope by: bodies. Orientation coordinate system: any; defaults to Global Cartesian. Summation: Orientation coordinate system. |
| Energy | Magnetostatic | Magnetic Co-energy |
Scope to: body. Scope by: System or per body. |
| Magnetic Flux[c] | Magnetostatic | Magnetic Flux |
Scope to: body. Scope by: edge. |
[a] A limitation exists when the scoping of a Force Summation or a Torque probe is applied to a geometry entity (Location Method = ) that shares more than one body. The (unscoped) elements that are adjacent to the scoped body contribute to the probe's results.
[b] Torque results represent the torque on a body due to electromagnetic forces. Torque is specified about the origin of a coordinate system. By default, the global coordinate system is used. To change the specification point, create a local coordinate system and specify the results about the new origin. The torque result is listed in the Details pane.
[c] Magnetic Flux is computed along the scoped edge. The scoping should produce a single continuous path along the edge. Flux is reported as magnitude only.
