Hi @elramire
The first point I want to clarify is, you cannot see the deflection in the rod in Maxwell.
But what you can observe is the amount of force acting on the rod due to electromagnet.
To observe the force acting on the rod Magnetostatic solution is enough.
To understand how to create a coil terminal in 3D you can look at the "create the coil terminal" section in the below help file in maxwell.
To understand the setup of how to see the force acting on the rod refer to the first guide - "Magnetostatic solenoid problem". This is a 2D example but will give you an idea.
