Hi all,
Just wanted to give a quick update.
I don't think the simulation I've wanted to make is really possible in Elmer using the previous discussion. However, I do have a solution that I think is valid.
If you want to simulate some body experiencing a uniform magnetic field that does not lie parallel to any of the unit basis vectors, you have to simulate each component separately and then use the principle of superposition to get the resultant field. In other words, I'm saying that you need to simulate the X-component of the field in one sim, the y-component of the field in another sim, and the z-component of the field in another sim. In post processing, like ParaView, you merge the results under the assumption that the principle of superposition is valid. I'm busy investigating the validity of this assumption. Please see the image below for an example sim.
Thanks for all the help.
Cheers,
Nick
