Magnetostatic Analysis

Magnetostatic problems:

  • solve the magnetostatic approximation of Maxwell's equations describing electromagnetic phenomena and compute the magnetic fields due to direct currents;

  • involve only magnetic fields, which are assumed to be vary slowly in time such that electromagnetic coupling can be neglected;

  • require the use of electromagnetic elements in the whole domain;

  • require that magnetic permeability is specified in the whole domain;

  • can be solved with nonlinear magnetic behavior; and

  • can be solved using continuum elements in two- and three-dimensional space.
