[KANTUBHUKTA HEMANTH HARI KISHORE]

Hello everyone,

I hope you are doing well. I'm Hari Kishore, and I'm doing a transient analysis of a tube and coil system in ANSYS Maxwell.

My model consists of a tube, an expansion coil placed inside the tube, and two end coils placed on either side of the tube, as shown in the figure.

Here, I would like to take the Lorentz force density along the length of the tube, i.e., along the line shown in the above figure.

The default parameter option to find the Lorentz force distribution on the tube is giving the force with respect to time.

Could you please guide me in such a way that I can take the force distribution along length, i.e., along distance?

Thank you in advance.

Hi, you can use field calculator to help by selecting Quantity -> J, Quantity -> B, Cross, Scalar -> ScalarX or Y or Z -> create a named expression for LorentzForceX(YorZ), then plot it a long a line in Field plot.

Hello, Miranda.

Thank you for getting back to me. I would like to know the radial and axial force components for the above tube, as shown.

If I create Fx, Fy, and Fz in the field calculator,

Will Fx or Fy represent the radial component, and Fz represent the axial force component?

I would appreciate clarification on this, or do I need to use the field calculator to find the radial and axial components of force?

Thanks.
