Tóm tắt

The solution to electromagnetic problems relies on complex numerical differential equations that are difficult to understand. Therefore, it is crucial to analyze them step by step and visualize them in a computer environment, even by developing a program. This approach enhances understanding of the subject and facilitates further research. In this study, an electromagnetic phenomenon is examined on a ferromagnetic structure using the Maxwell 2D static-elliptical partial differential equation within a developed software environment. The paper covers all aspects, ranging from the mathematical model and analysis solution to the fundamental operating parameters and characteristics, with a focus on educational purposes. The modeling and software development have been executed in a user-friendly manner, enabling students to apply various numerical techniques to practical problems while maintaining control over the entire modeling process. Through this study, it is anticipated that the transition from theory to practice can be facilitated more smoothly and directly. The theoretical analysis has been conducted using Mathematica software, and a comparison with finite element magnetic method simulation on a typical magnetic structure has been presented to illustrate the analogy. A comprehensive analysis of the Maxwell static-elliptical electromagnetic equation, based on a 2D numerical solution within a specific domain, has been performed in a detailed and unambiguous manner, utilizing different equation forms, boundary conditions, and ferromagnetic materials, all for educational purposes.
