AutoSolenoid

Solenoid actuator design and analysis done quick. Built on pyFEMM.

Requirements

• The FEMM software (https://www.femm.info/wiki/HomePage)
• pyfemm
• matplotlib
• moviepy (optional)

How to Use

1. To start the graphical interface, run start-gui.py. If you don't want the graphical interface open start-python.py for editing.
2. Enter design inputs.
3. If using the GUI, click on PERFORM ANALYSIS. Otherwise, run the python script.
4. Wait until FEMM analyses are complete. The console window will tell how many of the analyses are completed.
5. Navigate to your export directory (the filename you chose) to see the results and FEMM models.

Results

AutoSoleonid auto-exports magnetic flux density plots and a stroke-force graph.

For other results, you can use the generated FEMM models in your export directory to get more data.
