Hi Everyone,

I have a pendulum made of a magnet (one end is fixed, and the other has a magnet). I want to model the transient effects of the pendulum's magnetic force on a metallic beam located beneath the pendulum. I thought I could use ANSYS Mechanical for this purpose, but the problem is that I cannot find a way to define this magnetic force in it. I have an analytical relationship that gives the applied force based on the distance from the pendulum. However, I couldn't find a way to link the magnitude of a force in ANSYS Mechanical to the distance of two points (one located on the pendulum and the other one on the beam). I would be very thankful if you could give me an idea to model this problem. Thank you.

You can use the "Magnetostatic" module for this simulation. Please refer - Magnet placement simulation in Ansys Mechanical - Bing video
Also, you can do the same analysis in APDL. Please refer to - 2.8. Magneto-Structural Analysis (ansys.com)

Hi Saumadeep Thank you very much for your attention. I really appreciate it.
About the magnetostatic solution, do you mean we can simulate transient problems using this solver? Tye pendulum is swinging over the beam.
