Is there any software on metals that can predicts orbital or induced currents in metals in the presence of a magnetic field or electromagnetic waves?
1 Answer
I found couple of tools online. Here I collate the ones I think are relevant:
MEMEP3Dtool: Three-dimensional (3D) electro-magnetic modeling tool for superconductors and normal conductors using the Minimum Electro-Magnetic Entropy Production (MEMEP) variational principle. (1)
MaxFEM: This paper shows examples of how to use MaxFEM for analysis of eddy currents. (2)
QuickField: Here is an example to simulate eddy currents in a liquid metal on the QuickField website. Quickfield has a free "student" edition. More info here.
