Parametric study using a coil and Iron slug – This workshop describes the steps required to setup a parametric analysis offered through Optimetrics. – An RZ Magnetostatic problem will be used to demonstrate the setup of a parametric solution using Optimetrics in Maxwell 2D. The coil current and the dimensional length of an iron slug will be varied and the force on the slug will be observed. 2D Flux Lines and Flux Density 3D Geometry: Coil and Iron Slug ? 2013 ANSYS, Inc.
