We often want to incorporate a finite-element solve into a larger program for design automation or optimization. The example below includes a Python function that runs an APDL script and then checks the output file for errors.

In electric machines, there are two common causes of eddy currents: (1) time-varying currents in coils, and (2) motion of conductors relative to sources of magnetic field. In this post, we show how to estimate the current density arising from a time-varying magnetic field passing through a plate.
