assign_force#

Maxwell2d.assign_force(assignment, coordinate_system='Global', is_virtual=True, force_name=None)[source]#

Assign a force to one or more objects.

Force assignment can be calculated based upon the solver type. For 3D solvers the available solution types are: Magnetostatic, Electrostatic, Eddy Current, Transient and Electric Transient. For 2D solvers the available solution types are: Magnetostatic, Electrostatic, Eddy Current and Transient.

Parameters:

assignmentstr, list: One or more objects to assign the force to.
coordinate_systemstr, optional: Name of the reference coordinate system. The default is "Global".
is_virtualbool, optional: Whether the force is virtual. The default is True.
force_namestr, optional: Name of the force. The default is None, in which case the default name is used.

Returns:

bool: True when successful, False when failed.

Examples

Assign virtual force to a magnetic object:

>>> from ansys.aedt.core import Maxwell3d
>>> m3d = Maxwell3d()
>>> iron_object = m3d.modeler.create_box([0, 0, 0],[2, 10, 10],name="iron")
>>> magnet_object = m3d.modeler.create_box([10, 0, 0],[2, 10, 10],name="magnet")
>>> m3d.assign_material(iron_object,"iron")
>>> m3d.assign_material(magnet_object,"NdFe30")
>>> m3d.assign_force("iron",is_virtual=True,force_name="force_iron")

Assign Lorentz force to a conductor:

>>> conductor1 = m3d.modeler.create_box([0, 0, 0],[1, 1, 10],name="conductor1")
>>> conductor2 = m3d.modeler.create_box([10, 0, 0],[1, 1, 10],name="conductor2")
>>> m3d.assign_material(conductor1,"copper")
>>> m3d.assign_material(conductor2,"copper")
>>> m3d.assign_force("conductor1",is_virtual=False,force_name="force_copper") # conductor, use Lorentz force
>>> m3d.release_desktop(True, True)
