Scalar quantities in 2D simulation

Post by ltnschlgr »

Hi,

I calculated scalar quantities like Magnetic Flux Density or Separate Magnetic Energy using a 2d simulation with "MagnetoDynamics2D" and "MagnetoDynamicsCalcFields". I did not find a parameter for the depth of the simulation in the z direction. How do I scale the scalar quantities to an specific depth?

I only found and example for the torque of a PMSM. However, I am uncertain if its just a multiplication.

Best regards,
Tobias

Hi,
since it could be useful for others I answer my own question: Comparing with FEMM, the scalar quantities seem to have the depth of 1m. Scaling to the actual depth is done by multiplication with the real depth in the unit of meters.

Hello Tobias,

Have a look at viewtopic.php?f=7&t=7151&p=23142#p23142. It is more or less the same question as you have here.

If that post doesn't answer your question, I'll try to answer any follow-up questions you may have.

Best,

James
