In general, there is a wide range of applications requiring coupled electromagneticstructural analysis. In this paper, two of such coupled problems have been analyzed. The first one is a transient analysis of Electromagnetic Forming process and the other problem is a deformation analysis of a coil in a static electromagnetic field. These problems are simulated in COMSOL using AC/DC module and Structural-Mechanics module. Simulation results obtained in the first problem show goodmatching with experimental results. The results in the available literature are used to validate the latter problem.
