      Assume a distribution of magnetic field surrounding conductors with applied DC currents. The calculation of the components of the Lorentz force has the following steps in the field calculator. – Quantity -> J – Quantity -> B – Cross – Scalar -> ScalarX – Geom -> Volume … (specify the volume of interest) OK – ∫ – Eval The above example shows the process for calculating the X component of the Lorentz force. Similar steps should be performed for all components of interest.
