Summary<\/h3>\n

COIL (external current magnetic field source) allows you to define coils independently of the finite element mesh and calculate the magnetic field produced by the coils.
\nEven in a COIL-only model, the magnetic field evaluation points of B_INTEG can be input as mesh data, and its magnetic field can be calculated and output using the Biot-Savart law. This function allows the calculation of the magnetic field due to COIL with high accuracy without setting boundary conditions. <\/p>\n

Explanation<\/h3>\n

As an example, let us calculate the magnetic field generated by the COIL (red) shown in Fig. 1 in the region of the magnetic field evaluation point (yellow) in B_INTEG.\u3000The shape and dimensions of the COIL are described in the input data.\u3000To set the magnetic field evaluation points of B_INTEG, the mesh data, B_integ_mesh file, is used as input data.
\nThe file format is the same as the conventional pre_geom, etc. When the analysis is executed, the magnetic field is calculated at each node position defined in B_integ_mesh and the results are output to the B_integ file in the specified format.\u3000The B_integ_mesh file should contain not only nodal data but also element data, as it will be used for contour display in post-processing. Element data can be either solid or shell (plane) elements. The post_geom file does not include the B_integ_mesh data, but outputs only the COIL geometry. Fig.2 shows the magnetic field distribution calculated by the above function and displayed by FEMAP. fig.3 shows the magnetic flux density vector distribution with the shell element mesh as input data.<\/p>\n

In the previous EMSolution, when the evaluation point was far enough from the COIL, it automatically approximated the COIL entered in the 3D geometry as a line current, but now a judgement value to approximate the line current can be entered for the distance from the evaluation point to the COIL. At sufficiently far distances, the magnetic field created by the COIL input in the 3D geometry and the one approximated by the line current agree very precisely, and furthermore, the calculation may be faster if the COIL magnetic field is calculated by the line current approximation. In addition, the accuracy has been improved as a result of the improved COIL calculation method. The coil geometry dimensions used in this example are the benchmark model used in " Static magnetic field analysis using COIL (external current magnetic field source)"<\/font><\/a> etc.\u3000and reported in "Three-Dimensional Static Magnetic Field Numerical Computation Techniques", IEEJ Technical Report No. 286.<\/p>\n
