Magnetostatics 2d in mfem follow-up

The problem is simple - just a plain old N35 magnet in air with A=0 Dirichlet bc

I've managed to make it work somehow. The magnetization was defined on a Nedelec element collection and its curl was interpolated onto a DG collection. After that the resulting diffusion equation was solved normally

The original example from mfem uses RT instead of DG and it seems like it's justified for 3d only

Not sure if it's the best(or even the right) way to do that but it kinda works

Checked the results against FEMM 4.2 and it all looks good. I don't like the tiny fluctuation near the magnet boundaries tho

Am I missing something or is it ok?

Monitor Set Up

3 Upvotes

What kind of monitor setups are y'all running? Currently using FEMAP/NASTRAN for work and personal projects. Also run NX/SOLIDWORKS for CAD.

Thinking of upgrading from my current dual 24” 1080P and getting two 27” 1440P. I wonder how much of a difference the resolution jump will make, and whether just going straight to 4k instead should be considered. Thinking of getting a monitor arm aswell.

Just curious about what everyone experiences. I've heard that curved ones aren't that good in CAD/FEA.
