I am modeling the electromagnetic force on a square sample area (represents a microscope slide, where magnetic particles will be placed in a gel-like medium for an experiment). I have a solenoid defined and everything is enclosed in a large cylinder of air.
When postprocessing by defining a Force Calculation on a domain, does the "electromagnetic force" global evaluation yielded mean the Lorentz Force (as in the J x B force)? Or is it the integration of the maxwell surface stress tensor?
When I postprocess and plot the Electromagnetic Force, the resultant points "downward" in the -y direction when it seems like it should be pointing in the -z direction instead, towards the solenoid from the perspective of the sample square domain.
I am confused about why this is direction is happening, and about why nothing appears when I attempt to plot the Lorentz Force Contribution.
My model is attached. Thank you for any help.
