DYNAmore Express: Magnets, Ferromagnets and Actuators simulated with LS-DYNA

Speaker: Iñaki Çaldichoury (Ansys/LST) Latching magnets, snapping magnets, stranded conductors interacting with ferromagnetic materials, actuators and so forth are all applications heavily present in the information technology ecosystem as well as in manufacturing or automotive. Among those industries, there is a growing need of providing a Multiphysics solution allowing magnets and ferromagnets to freely move and interact with other conductors. LS-DYNA’s EM solver already had an Eddy current solver allowing such couplings which traditionally focused on magnet metal forming applications. The R13 release of LS-DYNA extends those capabilities by allowing users for the first time to model magnets and ferromagnetic materials. In this webinar, those capabilities will be introduced, the challenges that can be encountered discussed and examples with keyword description will be provided.
