Designing New Magnet Technology — A Multiphysics Challenge

CATHLEEN LAMBERTSON

COMSOL Multiphysics was used to visualize the current distribution in the magnet and to simulate the heat transfer in steady state operation through the coupling of the Conductive Media DC and General Heat Transfer physics interfaces. Dr. Masson states “Using COMSOL Multiphysics allows for the design to be optimized numerically before anything is actually fabricated. All the trial and error can be performed through simulation, thus saving time and money.”
