TEMagn1: Transient eddy currents in a semi-infinite solid
This is an example of the transient eddy currents simulation, performed with QuickField software.
Problem Type:
A plane problem of nonlinear transient magnetic analysis.
Geometry:
The surface of semi-infinite solid plate is suddenly subjected to a constant magnetic potential A0.
Given:
Magnetic permeability of material μ=1;
Conductivity of material g=2,500,000 S/m;
Loadig A0=2 Wb/m.
Problem:
Determine current distribution within the conductor.
Solution:
The model length 20 m is arbitrarily selected such that no significant potential change occurs at the end points for the time period of interest. The final time of 0.25 s is sufficient for the theoretical response comparison. A time step of 0.005 s is used.
