General
External AC magnetic field is applied on a conductor shell . Eddy current on the shell is solved.
The vectors of the magnetic field and the magnetic flux density are also solved.
Unless specified in the list below, the default conditions will be applied.

The frequency is set to 100[Hz] in the harmonic analysis tab. The external magnetic field is directing the Z direction.
Thus, the external magnetic field is set to be AC with the frequency of 100[Hz].

The current density on the shell surface is shown.
Eddy current is circulating around the Z axis.
The magnetic field sectioned at YZ plane is shown
The magnetic field is distributed around the shell surface.
There is almost no penetration of the magnetic field into the shell.
The stronger the magnetic filed is, the larger eddy current is.
