Studied device

The studied device includes the following elements:

• a magnetic circuit made up of two ferromagnetic parts (laminated):

  • a fixed part
  • a moving core

• a coil supplied by a 24-volt power supply

Basic EM analysis

All physics definitions of the actuator can be realized with the proposed [MTAxi Workflow] tool bar:

The parameterized model is created with SimLab – Sketcher, and the model can be used for further DOE analysis.

The final physical description is shown below, with a coupled circuit:

After solving the scenario, SimLab can provide some basic post-processing for the EM analysis, including the isovalue visualization and the physical quantity plotting.
