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.
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.

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.
