Introduction

The Magnet allows you:

  • to define the magnetic orientation of a permanent magnet
Note: To complete the modeling of the magnet it is necessary to assign a Permanent Magnet material on the same body on which the Magnet is applied.

Dialog Box



  • Select magnet bodies: Select one or several bodies to define as a magnet.
  • Magnet Orientation: two choices

    • Unidirectional: along a vector to define by clicking on Define/Modify Orientation



    • Radial / Orthoradial: Magnetic direction of the selected body either diverge/converge from the given point

      4 types:

      • Radial outwards
      • Radial inwards
      • Orthoradial clockwise
      • Orthoradial anticlockwise
