Magnets not moving.

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hey.

I have this problem:

I have two magnets oriented so that the north pole of one facing the North Pole 2 in the common axis X. Magnets are so close to each other should be
repel.
But magnets will not move.
Geometry in 2D.
What should I do to make magnets moved apart?

Thank you.
Goodbye.

Martin,

You need to add Moving Mesh (ale) physics and couple it to Global OEEs and DEAs (ge) interface as shown in Comsol example model:

Alternatively, you can couple Moving Mesh (ale) to Solid Mechanics (solid) physics as shown in the working example “permanent_magnet_moving_rod_sy.mph”:
