FEM Electrostatic equation |
This equation perform electrostatic analyses using a 2D version of the Maxwell equations when the unknown is the z-component (or φ-component).
For info about the math of the equation, see the Elmer models manual, section Computation of Magnetic Fields in 2D.
Usage
- After adding an Elmer solver as described here, select it in the tree view.
- Now either use the toolbar button or the menu Solve → Electromagnetic Equations → Magentodynamic2D equation.
- Change the equation's solver settings or the general solver settings if necessary.
Solver Settings
For the general solver settings, see the Elmer solver settings.
The magentodynamic 2D equation provides these special settings:
- DataAngular Frequency: The harmonic actuation frequency. It only used if DataIs Harmonic is set to true.
- DataCalculate Current Density: Calculates the current density.
- DataCalculate Electric Field: Calculates the electric field strength.
- DataCalculate Elemental Fields: Calculates the electromagnetic fields for every mesh element. This is useful to see discontinuities in meshes.
Note: at the moment FreeCAD cannot display these results properly. Therefore it is at the moment of no practical usage. - DataIs Harmonic: If the driving force is harmonically actuated (AC current). If set to true, DataAngular Frequency must have a value > 0.
Constraint Information
The magentodynamic 2D equation takes the following constraints into account if they are set:
