Hello,
I recently started dealing with AC/DC electromagnetics. I have a quick question on the 2D axisymmetric model. Ideally with an air core, analytically I figure out that at the center of my electromagnet it should be about 1.7 T. If I design the model using 2D axisymmetric and keeping the same dimensions, I get a value of 0.25 T. What is the reason for this? I understand the basic differences that arise from FEA and analytical but this seems too big of an error. In the past I have heard of the 2*pi*r multiplier. Is this what I am not accounting when I plot the magnetic flux density?
Thanks in advance
