<strong>Getting</strong> <strong>Started</strong>: A <strong>2D</strong> <strong>Magnetostatic</strong> <strong>Problem</strong><br />

The Sample <strong>Problem</strong><br />

The sample problem, shown below, is a solenoid that consists of the following objects:<br />

• Core<br />

• Bonnet<br />

• Coil<br />

• Yoke<br />

• Plugnut<br />

CORE<br />

COIL<br />

BONNET<br />

The <strong>2D</strong> diagram above actually represents a 3D structure that has been revolved around an axis of<br />

symmetry, as shown in the figure below. In this figure, part of the 3D model has been cut away so<br />

that you can see the interior of the solenoid.<br />

Since the cross-section of the solenoid is constant, it can be modeled as an axisymmetric model in<br />

<strong>Maxwell</strong> <strong>SV</strong>.<br />
