FEniCS Project

Simulation of Magnetic Field Gradients

Asked by Simon Fowler

I am not finding any resources in the FEniCS documentation for simulating magnetic fields. Is there a reason why magnetic fields are not being worked on? Or am I just looking in the wrong places? If the latter is the case, does anyone know of any tutorials or worked examples that would be relevant?

The Fenics book has a chapter on Electromagnetic waveguide analysis, there was also a paper came up on arvix recently, http://arxiv.org/pdf/1301.3061.pdf I haven't read either of them and don't know much about magnetic fields but they are might be worth a look. I dont know of any tutorals but someone else might.

Thank you Nick. I had skimmed the section in the book on waveguides, and didn't find it to be very relevant for generating magnetic fields--such as with an electromagnet--but I will look at it more closely to see if I missed something. The paper you linked is very helpful though. Much appreciated.

I know FEniCS has been used for simulating magnetic fields but there
is no demo for it.
