Magnetic Transient Analysis

[Timbotic]

Hello everyone!

I need to do a magnetic transient analysis and am quiet new to FEM analysis. I got started with Ansys Maxwell Student, however the student version does not allow for transient analysis. So I would like to know if this is possible with FreeCAD, before I start learnig all the required tools.

In case this is possible is there any information out there on how to do this? So far I wasn't able to find anything in that regard.

Your help would be highly appriciated!

Best regards,
Tim

Not directly in FreeCAD but you could use it to prepare the model for analysis with one of the solvers supported by FreeCAD - CalculiX or Elmer.

Hey thank you for your quick reply! And Elmer and Calculix can do magnetic Transient analysis? Do you know where I can find good tutorials in that regard?

And Elmer and Calculix can do magnetic Transient analysis?

Elmer:
- electrostatics
- magnetostatics
- A-V formulation
- magnetic induction
- vectorial Helmholtz equation

CalculiX:
- electrostatics
- magnetostatics
- inductive heating
