Define Magnetic Source Field

Simulation: Sources and LoadsMagnetic Source Field

In this dialog box a homogeneous magnetic source field can be defined as a source for the magnetostatic- and the low frequency solver. This feature is currently supported only by the hexahedral solvers.

Field vector frame

X, Y, Z

Specifies the field components of a constant magnetic source field. The resulting total field is the sum of the specified source field and the computed secondary field taking into account further sources and materials (e.g. jumps at material interfaces). Only the total field is available as a result.

For technical reasons the constant source field has to fulfill tangential/electric boundary conditions. On normal/magnetic boundaries no restrictions exist for the source field. Note that only the secondary field is normal at these boundaries while the total field has a tangential component prescribed by the source field.

Note: The field components are always interpreted as peak values even if source value scaling RMS was activated in the low frequency solver settings.

Field phase frame

X, Y, Z

Specifies the phases of the field components for a time harmonic and space-constant magnetic source field. This setting is only taken into account for the low frequency solver, but ignored for the magnetostatic solver.
