Actuators

In cases of motors or actuators motion effects have to be included in the analysis. When the mechanical equations for dynamics are coupled with the magnetic solution, it is possible in MAGNETICS for NX/Simcenter to simulate dynamic motion resulting from magnetic forces. Look at the examples here.

Actuator, Pump, Relay

For the analysis of any linear motion as you may need for actuators, pumps or relais you can use the linear joint type. As with the revolute joint it is possible to include friction or the mechanical magnetical coupling.

Mechanical Magnetic Coupling

When the mechanical equations for dynamics are coupled to the magnetics solution it is possible to simulate dynamic motion resulting from magnetic forces. This is done in the following example where a simple rotor is oscillating between two permanent magnets.

Analysis of Power Losses

These type of analysis with general motion can be done in 2D or 3D. Next picture shows the simple rotor between two magnets as a 3D model.

System of Joints

In this tutorial we analyze a system of two slider- and one rotor-magnets. Enforced translation in x is applied to the first slider. The other two move freely (dynamic) because of the permanent magnet forces acting on them.
