Deformation of an Iron Plate by Magnetic Force

Application ID: 102811


A strong permanent magnet is placed close to a clamped thin plate made of iron. The magnetic force causes the plate to be deflected. This example studies the plate's elastic deformation and stress. The deformation of the plate has an influence on the distribution of the magnetic field. This effect is accounted for using the moving mesh in the air surrounding the plate. The model is set up using the Magnetomechanics, No Currents multiphysics interface.

This model example illustrates applications of this type that would nominally be built using the following products:
