Home / Examples / Magnetic Analysis (Gauss, Static Analysis/Harmonic analysis) / Example 2: Magnetic Field of Bar Magnet and Magnetic Material
The magnetic field generated by a ferrite bar magnet and magnetic material is analyzed.
The vectors of the magnetic field and the magnetic flux density are solved.
Unless specified in the list below, the default conditions will be applied.
Results will vary depending on Femtet version and the PC environment.

Magnetic material is placed on top of a ferrite bar magnet which was created in the example 1.
The magnetizing direction of the ferrite magnet is +Z by default.
That means the top of the magnet is the north magnet pole and the bottom is the south magnet pole.

The vectors of the magnetic field in the air are shown below. The magnetic fields of the magnet and the magnetic material are hidden.
The vectors of the magnetic field inside the magnet and magnetic material are shown below. The magnetic field in the air is hidden.
At the magnet poles, the directions of the magnetic field are reversed for the inside and the outside of the magnet.
The magnetic field in the iron is quite small.
The vectors of the magnetic flux density are shown below.
Inside the magnet, the directions of the vectors of the magnetic flux density are the reversal of those of the magnetic field.
The flux density is high in the magnetic material.
