Flux 2D: imposed magnetic flux

Dear,

In flux2D, I am trying to impose a magnetic flux on the boundary of a region by defining a line region (imposed magnetic flux) and applying it to the boundary line. However, it does not seem possible to control the direction in this the flux is applied.

The considered structure is a simple rectangle with periodic boundaries at the left and right sides (odd periodicity). I've set the top boundary as a line region with imposed magnetic flux, and the bottom region as a line region with normal magnetic field. What I would like to obtain is an upwards flux through the top boundary equal to the imposed flux.

Is it possible to control the direction of the imposed flux in some way?

Thanks in advance and best regards,

Ruud

Hello,

you're right, you can impose normal field on left anf right side for example. and then impose 1 Wb and -1Wb on top and bottom. This will create a field going to the right

Hello,

I believe the flux created is normal to the line you selected. Is it not what you get using this type of boundary condition ?

Hi,

If I apply this boundary condition, it seems to give only tangential flux (all flux lines are parallel to the line on which I opposed the boundary condition).

Best regards,

Ruud
