There <em>are<\/em> magnetic element types in the element library of the MAPDL solver that use the magnetic scalar potential (these are used in the example in the link that Ashish sent you). However, MSP technology is <em>not<\/em> natively exposed in Mechanical. Unless you have used a command object to highjack the model created by Mechanical and convert element types to those that use the MSP (e.g., SOLID96), there are no magnetic scalar results calculated by your Mechanical model. The elements used by default in Magnetostatic analysis systems use an entirely different technology to obtain results.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In case you aren&#8217;t already aware, the MSP is restricted to <em>magnetostatic<\/em> calculations &#8211; transient effects such as velocity-induced back EMF and induced eddy currents cannot be obtained with the MSP. In my experience, these phenomena have a modest effect on the performance of a solenoid during actuation. If your solenoid geometry is, like many, axisymmetric, and you want to account for transient effects that usually accompany actuation, it is usually easiest to setup the model using 2D coupled field elements in MAPDL (PLANE233). The electromagnetic options of this element type are not yet natively exposed in Mechanical, and setup with command object will probably be pretty tedius.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Bill&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&nbsp;&lt;\/p&gt;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-362043","reply","type-reply","status-publish","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t<!-- All in One SEO 4.9.10 - aioseo.com -->\n\t<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Hi Manas,By default, the finite element models created by the Magnetostatic analysis system use something called the edge-flux DOF to calculate results such as B field and magnetic forces.
