Numerical Solution/Results
Click on Results in the workflow tab. Go to Add and select Contour. Choose the plate for Location and Electromagnetic > Ohmic Loss Density for the Variable. The other results we are interested in are current density and Ohmic Loss. Right click then click on Add > Results > Vector. Then select the top surface of the plate and change the variable to Right click then click on Add > Results > Calculated Value. Select the plate for Location and Electromagnetic > Ohmic Loss for the Variable. Right click in the empty area and press Evaluate Results to see the results.
Next, click Results in the workflow template and select Contour.
Next, click Results in the workflow template and select Vector.
This vector plot of current density plot shows that Eddy currents were induced in the plate by the sinusoidally varying current in the coil.
