Mag Force = sqrt ( Fx^2 + Fy^2 + Fz^2 ) In cylindrical coordinate system, the force needs to be calculated using the Fields Calculator. In this case the direction is specified in Vector \/ Scal? \/ Scalar X In cylindrical the equivalence are: X -> Radial Y-> Phi  Z -> Z The Mag Force is calculated using the equation described above, but based in the cylindrical CS.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-164279","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry","topic-tag-19-2","topic-tag-electrical-machines","topic-tag-electromagnetics-electronics","topic-tag-force-torque","topic-tag-low-frequency-electromagnetics","topic-tag-maxwell","topic-tag-post-processing-maxwell"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_wp_page_template":["default"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["1-24-2023  20:20:04"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27819"],"_bbp_author_ip":["23.56.168.180"],"_btv_view_count":["5147"],"siebel_km_number":["2051461"],"product_version":["19.2"],"km_published_date":["2017-09-29T18:41:02.000Z"],"family":["Electromagnetics & Electronics"],"application_name":["Maxwell"]},"test":"articlesansys-com"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/164279","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/164279\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=164279"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
