Hi
I am new to COMSOL. I am trying to couple moving mesh with magnetic field and electric field interface. My simulation consists of an armature that moves under the influence of Lorentz force. I used an ODE to calculate the position of the armature. Now i need to couple it with ale and move the armature. How can i do this coupling.
Because for each step the mesh has to be moved to new position and then all the other physics should be calculated and so on.

I read through some examples. they have used different study options for each physics and then use the result as initial values for the next. I cannot use this because for every time step the position changes and i should incorporate it simultaneously in the other physics. Can someone help me.

Thank you
Nichith

Hi Nichith,

The model file shared by Sergei Yushanov on the following thread covered all the aspects of the modeling you are trying to do here.

Note that the physics used here is Magnetic Fields; but you can easily used the Magnetic and Electric Fields in the same way.

Hi Nirmal,

Thank you so much for your help. I am sorry for replying late. I could not access COMSOL for sometime now. But now that's sorted out.
I have looked at the example in the link you mentioned. It does cover all the aspects I am looking for. I have tried to incorporate changes from the example into my simulation. I am still getting problems with my moving mesh part. I see that in the example the moving mesh was controlled very well. But in my case the armature gets deformed from its original shape when it is moved.
I am not able to see what is the mistake i am doing. It would be very helpful if you can give me some suggestion. I have attached my file here.
