Electromagnetics

Solve problems that model electric and magnetic fields

Solve PDEs that model 2-D static electric and magnetic fields. A typical programmatic workflow for solving an electromagnetic problem includes the following steps:

Create a special electromagnetic model container for an electrostatic or magnetostatic analysis.
Define a 2-D geometry and mesh it.
Assign electromagnetic properties of the material, such as relative permittivity and relative permeability.
Specify charge or current density within the geometry.
Specify voltage or magnetic potential values on the boundaries.
Solve and plot results, such as the resulting electric or magnetic potentials, fields, and flux densities.
