Dear all,

I was wondering whether SEMCAD is suitable for modelling coils and evaluation thereof for applications in NDT (non-destructive testing) of metallic materials.

Currenly I use OPERA from Vector Fields (which is quite clumsy), in which I generate a solenoid by chosing the shape, inputing its dimensions and the current density (A/mm2). Can this also be accomplished in SEMCAD?

Basically it would mean I create a shape (i.e. a ring), assign this shape as a conductor and then specify the current density of this shape.

I've jumped through the whole manual that is in the first post and could find much related to coils.. except for the examples on the website itself where a gradient coil was simulated, however there was no mention of current density.

Regards

edit: Please see attached pictures detailing the situation in Opera
