Or even an approximation in terms of scalar magnetic potential and then Therefore, we may rather utilize an external program (CPO), a formula, Particular the fringing effects at the ends of a solenoid coil. SIMION does not directly or exactly calculate,įor example, the magnetic fields generated by wire currents and in if the problem is not expressible in terms of scalar
Particles, SIMION cannot always calculate that magnetic fieldĭirectly, e.g. Special methods are requiredīecause although SIMION can apply a known arbitrary magnetic field to This article describes multiple methods of importing the magneticįield of a solenoid coil into SIMION. June 2005, David Manura, Scientific Instrument Services, Inc. In additional, SIMION 8.0 now includes a Biot-Savart solver. See Importing and Exporting Field and Potential Array Data for the latest information on newer methods of doing this.
