  Im trying to simulate microrobots (spherical objects with ferrous core) moving through the bloodstream under the influence of a magnitic gradient. Coming from someone with very basic Ansys fluent and maxwell knowledge, I was wondering if there was any tutorials/literature that anyone could suggest that would be useful for this project. Thanks

  There may be some coupling tutorials, check in Help for both Fluent & Maxwell as well as in System Coupling. You may also require some DPM UDFs to link the DPM and magnetic fields, https://ansyshelp.ansys.com/account/Secured?returnurl=/Views/Secured/corp/v232/en/flu_udf/flu_udf_DPMDEFINE.html%23flu_udf_sec_define_dpm_body_force may be a good starting point.
  If the particles don't alter the magnetic field you may just need to import the Maxwell field data into Fluent.
